A Survey of the Book’s Content

This chapter is a detailed comment on the content of the book and a self-contained survey over larger parts of linear time-invariant systems theory and electrical engineering, on the basis of mathematical knowledge of two university years. For simplicity, we restrict ourselves here to the continuous-time case over the complex field \({\mathbb {C}}\). We present the most important methods and results of the book and refer to the chapters or theorems, where they are discussed as well as to corresponding results in the literature. This chapter contains no proof and does not assume any knowledge from other chapters.
