13."Advanced Mathematical Analysis: Periodic Functions and Distributions, Complex Analysis, Laplace Transform and Applications (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)" by R Beals
“Advanced Mathematical Analysis: Periodic Functions and Distributions, Complex Analysis, Laplace Transform and Applications (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)” Book Review: The book discusses the negative effects of categorizing courses into different subjects. Mathematics students tend to learn abstract concepts first and examples later, while science students often miss out on modern insights by learning outdated examples. Offering a choice between learning Fourier series as a minor instance of representation theory versus in isolation in an ad hoc manner is not a real choice. Although the problem is easy to recognize, it is challenging to address the legitimate pressures that have led to the separation of subjects.
