This is a substantially updated, extended and reorganized third edition of an introductory text on the use of integral transforms. Emphasis is on the development of techniques and the connection between properties of transforms and the kind of problems for which they provide tools.

An exciting new way of teaching chaos in dynamical systems to undergraduates, using a combination of text and computer experiments.
