Transforms anyone?

[noble]

Let's start on some Laplace here, see how much everyone knows.....
Something simple to start off (L for laplace, L(-1) for inverse laplace).

1. L {7*e^(-t) * u(t)}
2. L(-1) {(1/2)*1\(s+1)^2)

I´m not familiar with the english word Laplace, can you please explain it?

[HarryW]

I think it's a Name. A French one.

[noble]

Laplace refers to Pierre Simon Laplace. He was the
mathematician that the Laplace Transform is named after.
Heaviside actually developed the Laplace technique, Laplace
is credited and generally associated with it, however.
It's basically a link between differential calculus and
algebra.

...then I don´t have a clue about your problem.
Never even heard of Laplace. :)

[noble]

This is disappointing guys :(

You mean to tell me no one here has any knowledge of
transform theory?!

[Balder]

noble; Try make an example to illustrate, maybe some (me) will get what it´s about then.

[HarryW]

To me, transformations means rotation, translation and scaling. I have no idea what those equations at the top are about though. Care to enlighten us?

[noble]

You can find information about this on the web or if you
have access to any advanced math classes.

Do a search for 'Laplace Transforms.'

I spend enough time doing Computing classes and learning about programming thanks. I'll look it up though :)

[Balder]

Tell me what you find HarryW, too lazy to check myself :)
