Overview

An intro to the mysteries of the frequency domain and Laplace transform and how they're used to understand mechanical and electrical systems.

Syllabus

  • Pass back and forth between the time domain and the frequency domain using the Laplace Transform and its inverse.
  • Use a toolbox for computing with the Laplace Transform.
  • Describe the behavior of systems using the pole diagram of the transfer function.
  • Model for systems that have feedback loops.
  • Model sudden changes with delta functions and other generalized functions.
