Thread: Laplace Transform help

Hey, not sure if this should go in the physics forum, but I suppose it really only applies to this:


I'm only in AP Calc BC doing a year end project, but I want to be able to do this by hand (no tables). How would I go about doing that?

Please post the problem that gave rise to this.

It's a circuit diagram with a lot of conclusions drawn based from Kirchoff's Voltage Law, voltage through each component, etc. You want the entire thing? It's fairly long winded and took up about one and a half pages written.

Perhaps I can see if I can get hold of a scanner.

I ask because I find it improbable that that Laplace transform should be needed

It sort of is. I have to relate this to Butterworth tables in order to find out my constants for L and C, inductance and capacitance respectively.

At any rate, I did figure it out. Applying Laplace transforms to each individual function of t did the trick. Thanks for any effort put forth.
