Holmes and Lipo's "Pulse Width Modulation for Power Converters"

In my youth, I read this book from Alexandre Dumas The Count of Monte Cristo. The young man was put into a prison and there he met an old wise man. The old man showed him his collection of books and said that with 100 books, he can understand the world. Books are super important. In space vector research and after reading of a few papers on overmodulation, one feels that those descriptions are just not enough. Is there a nice book? The answer is Yes and Holmes and Lipo's book is a nice one.

There is some misconception about Power Electronics. System people think PE people are more or less hardware people lacking of analytical capability. That is wrong. Power Electronics is about details. Details are research. Browsing over the book, one finds not only the beautiful space vector but also sophisticated math from signal processing and communication field: Chapter 3 is on double Fourier integral based harmonic analysis. Such analysis is then employed to obtain every PWM scheme's harmonic expression. And there is plenty of math.

Another example is Chapter 12. Check out some hexagons, more hexagons, and decomposition. Switches can be very complicated.  This book is qualified as an applied math book. The only shortcoming, in my opinion, is that the book was not written in Latex.
