Linear Systems and Signals, 3rd Edition, is an undergraduate textbook designed by B.P. Lathi and Roger Green to introduce foundational engineering principles for analyzing signals and systems.
The volume covers time-domain analysis for continuous-time and discrete-time systems alongside frequency-domain and transform methods. Topics include the Laplace transform, the z-transform, continuous-time Fourier series, sampling, discrete-time Fourier analysis, and state-space analysis.
The authors build physical intuition through heuristic reasoning, metaphors, analogies, and creative explanations alongside mathematical proofs. In addition, hundreds of fully worked examples offer students structured practice applying theory to technical problems.
