Preliminary Text. Do not use. The Laplace transform is a wonderful tool for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, and has enjoyed much success in this realm. But with its success, a certain casualness has been bred concerning its application, without much regard for hypotheses and when they are valid. In the present text, the author brings to the subject a certain amount of mathematical correctness and makes it accessible to undergraduates.

"The book contains plenty of examples, exercises (with answers at the end) and a table of transforms.
The book is certainly a handsome introduction to the Laplae transform, by its clear representation well-suited for self-study."

"This clearly written undergraduate textbook can be recommended to students and teachers of this subject, both in a mathematial and engineering context."
