Hi

Im about to start my last year at uni and im trying to find a good web
site that will consider answering some mind bending maths questions in
fourier series, z-transforms and laplace. A few times last year i
struggled on some elements and i didnt know were to ask.

Before you say, why dosnt your teacher help. I will fill you in on how
maths is taught at our uni. When you approach the teachers, they say,
degrees are to be read and not taught. As a result of this our maths
prof is part time and only teaches at the uni 2 hours a week.

I look forward to any advise you guys can offer.

Thanks, an English student being ripped off by the system!!

Sounds like those supposed "teachers" don't answer because they don't
actual know or understand the subject well enough themselves, which is
a bit scary but depressingly common.

A google query comes back with quite a few decent sites - sort of
depends on the specific question in mind...

You might try asking over in the sci.math hierarchy. I don't read it
though so I don't know what groups would be appropriate, etc..

Mathworld.wolfram.com has a lot of encyclopedia-style articles on
mathematical subjects:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LaplaceTransform.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FourierTransform.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Z-Transform.html

Wikipedia is also sometimes a good place to look ( http://en.wikipedia.org/ ).
It has articles on all these subjects.

I also recommend the book _Digital Filters_, 3rd edition, by R W Hamming
(that's "the" Hamming). I found it to be very illuminating. It has
a good coverage of theory and practical things.
When you approach the teachers, they say, degrees are to be
read and not taught.

What a crock!

If you want a low-math introduction to the Fourier stuff, take
a look at my "Gut-Level Fourier Transforms" series. It ran
originally on the ChipCenter E-zine, but I also have all the
articles on my site at <www.daqarta.com/author.htm>

There is additional, overlapping stuff in the Daqarta Help
system, starting at <www.daqarta.com/0t0ifft1.htm>

Hope this helps!

K.A. Stroud got me through my whole engineering degree with his "Engineering
Mathematics" and "Further Engineering Mathematics" text books. His style is
pretty much to present lecture course slides with commentary and worked
examples. The books are probably in your university library. Other than
that, www.mathworld.com is pretty comprehensive.

Best of luck,

Andy
