Abstract
THE manner in which this book has been written enables any one of the subjects mentioned in the title to studied alone ; but there are sufficient cross-referenced to indicate the relationships between them. Much of the material contained in the first section, dealing with Fourier analysis, can be found elsewhere ; but it is presented here in a form particularly useful to radio engineers. The author maintains that mathematics should not be regarded merely as a convenient tool or a shorthand language to facilitate the solution of engineering problems, but as a subject exhibiting natural phenomena of its own. In support of this argument he mentions the many scientific discoveries which were made as a result of a mathematical investigation rather than by planned experiment. Certainly the mathematical treatments are presented in such a way that their practical importance is constantly in mind.
