What Are the Best Books for Understanding Laplace and Fourier Transforms?

AI Thread Summary
For undergraduate physics students seeking resources on Laplace Transforms (LT) and Fourier Transforms (FT), "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Pollard and Tenenbaum is highly recommended for its comprehensive coverage and clear explanations, particularly in the sections on Laplace Transforms. The book is affordable, priced around $20. Conversely, "Differential Equations" by Edwards and Penney is advised against due to its unclear and incoherent treatment of Laplace Transforms.

I am an undergrad student of physics so recommend me some good/classic books on the LT & FT .

THANX

I recommend Ordinary Differential Equations by Pollard and Tenenbaum. It's a Dover book--only costs about 20 bucks too. Besides the vast amount of info on ODE's, the sections on Laplace Transforms are the best. I would advise against using Differential Equations by Edwards and Penney for studying Laplace Transforms, because in my opinion, the section on them was incoherent and wasn't explained very clearly.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
