I know in sin approximations it is good to use range reduction, and then an identity to expand the value back out, this is because on a smaller range sin is more linear so easier to approximate. Could this method have came about by about by range reduction to approximate the complex exponential? --

Ok, so what I'm really asking is why did someone (Tustin?) decide to make this substitution? exp (sT) = exp (sT/2) / exp (-sT/2) which can be written: exp (sT/2 - (-sT/2)) On 23 June 2014 23:58, Andrew Simper wrote: > Ok, but where does > On 23 June 2014 22:59, robert bristow-johnson > wr
