In this chapter, we introduce the Laplace transform which is used for providing the solution of
network problems.
We have known that Fourier transform is used in finding solutions of large variety of engi-
neering problems. Fourier transform enables understanding of system behaviour in frequency
domain. This is done by expressing a signal f(t) as a continuous sum of complex exponentials.
The Fourier transform is defined as follows:

There are some special functions where Fourier transform is not possible. The introduction

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
