Module EC-4
Transforms, Complex Variables and Numerical Methods
Four transforms and the complex plane they live in. Complex functions and the residue theorem come first because the inverse Laplace transform is a contour integral and nothing else explains why. Then the Fourier series and transform, the Laplace transform, and the Z-transform for sequences. The module closes with the numerical methods that answer the equations no closed form reaches.
