12 10 Convolution
If we let F (s) and G (s) denote the transforms off (t) and g (t), respectively, then
the inverse of the product F (s) G (s) is given by the function h(t) = (! * g)(t).
It is called the convolution off (t) and g (t) and can be regarded as a generalized
product off (t) and g (t). Convolution helps us solve integral equations.
