No, I got the book and went to one of John Lumkes' seminars at a IPFE show in Las Vegas. I have visited Milwaukee twice. Peter Nachtwey
I was born and educated there. Your surname is German-enough (night way?) to
be from Milwaukee.

Many many years later - Most likely a typo. The partial fraction expansion should be: T_z(s) = (1-e^{-T*s}) * (1/s - 1/(s+a)). _____________________________ Posted through www.DSPRelated.com
