Question

anyone familiar to the laplace transform, can you give me a dummy crash course on it

Answer 1

its just a matter of multiplying f(t) by e^(-st) and integrating wrt.s from 0 to inf

Answer 2

\[\int f(t)~dt\to~\int_{0}^{inf} f(t)~e^{-st}~ds\]

Answer 3

you create some basic rules from that which creates a table to play with

Answer 4

to take the mystery out of it, this guy is awesome :)

Answer 5

sorry i haven't answered, I'm also at work at the moment and trying to study during down time

Answer 6

I only have basic dif eq under my belt but the way I thought of it was that we need something done, we cant do it in this world, so we convert to laplace world, and then do what we need done, then we come back to our world:)

Answer 7

lol this is an extra credit assignment my professor proposed, she didn't mentioned that this is 3 chapters (aka next course) ahead of where i currently stand, though i understand what your saying, i will attempt the problem solving with that mindset
