There are hundreds of lectures and tutorials about Laplace transform across internet (TH-cam, Vimeo, etc) This is the best explanation of Laplace concept on internet yet. strongly recommended to all especially engineering students and refreshing graduate engineers.
not a small correction, a fundamental important correction, with s not being defined at the very start. This highlights the difference in approach how an engineer and mathematician would approach maths...
Wow. Truly one of the best lectures on this subject on TH-cam. Other channels seem to think that the students watching already know some of the steps, so they don't explain the procedures step-by-step as clearly as this channel does. Thank you so much!
I am a PhD candidate in chemical engineering and I've done a lot of Laplace. But this tutorial was what I turned to when I tried to do a Laplace of a Besel function. Great job sir
I'm so impressed by how you clear my doubts minute after minute after all previous teachers and tutorials left me confused at different levels with scattered explanations. You gave a solid foundation and built up from there. Very few I've come across that teach as good.
I just want to say that you're an amazing tutor. I love it when things are taught from scratch in ways that make perfect sense. I appreciate how you didn't just go forward assuming that we knew nearly everything. At this time, I'm your newest subscriber
I am always amazed at how many extraordinarily good teachers there are on youtube and how many extraordinarily bad college professors there are. A PHD says that a professor knows a subject, not that he/she can actually teach it to someone else. Differential equations almost kept me from becoming an engineer 40 years ago, but I can actually understand what this guy is talking about and follow him. If his lectures had been available back in that era I might even have made a good grade.
OMG YOU’RE A LIFESAVER!! I missed the lectures that covered this because I had to fly out to a conference. I thought I could never understand this by finals. Thank you!!! Love the step by step!
hey, i love this guys videos but i cant really afford them, im studying electrical engineering, but the school system in my country is garbage and I find it very hard to learn, this guys free videos have proven very insightful and i'd love to have access to the entire catalogue, i reached out to him and he said he could give me a years subscription for $85 , im currently looking for someone to sponsor this fee as i cant really afford it and i dont want to passup the opportunity, could you help me out?
Most excellent presentation! I particularly appreciate your efforts to go through the details such as the “u”/“du” substitution. Also explaining the reasons “why” we are doing a step coupled with the summary review helps to solidify the concepts presented. Well done!
Your videos have helped me out immensely this semester. You always break things down to simple components which helps me understand the big picture, I really appreciate it
Oh Dear. I have been an a engineer since 1989 ( I mean , I become a processing engineer from graduated as Agricultural Engineer ). Have been headache when the electronic controllers came into use. And since retired ( 2019 ) from active duty , I become more like an advisor. Boiler drum level controls mostly solve by tuning . Each time one guy fail normally another guy ( Contractors ) will take over. The plant guys don't seek my advice until they run out of options. Than i decided to do my own calculation on PID . Laplace , since my Advance Mathematical days was just calculation on paper. Most of the TH-cam refreshing on PID and Laplace re education never took me anyway close to solve the PID issues. It always trial and error until you get it right. Only now ( This video has came across a few time ) I can figure it out that we are converting dt to du or the variation of the du ( The Drum Level are the input ). This is all about Laplace in any control when the so called Deviation is actually the input in loop control. Thank you very much.
For you inquisitive folks out there looking for the "gold" on the internet ... this is an example. You can pay a LOT of tuition to get this same information ... without it being explained so succinctly. Bravo to this Math and Science initiative for making this available. If you watched this and didn't head for the hills ... it was meant for someone like you (willing to advance their state of knowledge ... not gossip). Thanks!!!!
I am studying electrical engineering at Qatar university and I really appreciate your great job also I recommend this tutorial for any student who find is hard to understand Laplace transforms.
Thanks to your tutorials I passed the Laplace section of my Maths exams...clear...detailed and for people that are not naturally good at maths. Thee most useful part of guides are the examples and working through the various problems. Continued success to you. Thanks a million.
Such a wonderful teaching approach. You really made the hardest maths simple. Would you please make a long video covering the whole topic of Laplace and Fourier. I can't wait to watch the whole lecture.
Your a life saver, this is a fantastic tutorial to pick this up again. Far more help than my tutor in Australia. I should be paying you instead of the ridiculous fees the uni is charging me for external study.
This is fantastic! I’m still a little confused but that will be so,fed with practice but you have taken to explain the steps that everyone always assumes that the student knows, but those little bits of emphasis where there’s would dismiss, made all the difference to me. Thank you sir you have added a massive chunk to m understanding.
I’m a computer science student studying numerical methods. We are currently looking at how to compute the solutions to differential equations. This has helped me to understand the transform so thank you
I really wish u had your youtube channel with all these videos back in 2006.. i would have aced all my subjects instead of just passing due to lack of understanding.
[BTW, there's a question in here, eventually...] - Thx, Jason. Excellent presentation of the subject matter (as many have noted). - I studied this in my formal (electrical) engineering education. I understood it in practice, as well as the calculus manipulation - BUT, only came to understand it mathematically, years after college, when I went on a 2-year self-study into math (after which I became a math teacher!). - As I'm sure you know, the Laplace Transform is a special case of the more general, Integral Transform, where e^(-st)) is just one of many different "kernel" functions that can multiply the time varying function ("signal"). - In the Laplace Transform (LT), s is an element of the complex numbers (if I understand correctly), with non-zero real and imaginary parts, whereas in the Fourier Transform (FT), the kernel is purely imaginary. - QUESTION: What are the ramifications of the different kernels of the LT vs. the FT? I suspect it has something to do w/ magnitude, +/or phase. And, I suspect the particular integral transforms are intimately related, given the similar nature of their kernels. In fact, it seems the FT is in some sense a subset of the LT, given that it is purely imaginary, thus missing the real component present in the LT. - TIA. - And again job on the vid. Looking forward to watching some of your others - and sharing some w/ my math/philosophy group (the "Wing Circle"; find it on Facebook).
At 22:27 the condition to prevent the denominator from becoming a zero, is noted as, "valid for S>λ''. but, if the infinity were to change to +, whole answer would have been infinity. it worked out eventually.
19:47, if -(s-λ)t (t=+∞) is -∞ it requires s>λ (not mentioned), this condition is shown much later at 22:10, explained as to avoid zero in denominator, . It is a difficult point actually as parameter/variable 's' belongs to different domain than pure parametr λ.
Very Good for ABSOLUTE beginner First lesson of LT .When I first exposure of LT ,I immediate Think of Logarithm Transform from complicated MULTIPLICATION/DIVISION to SIMPLE addition/subtraction ! There are ANALOGY/homology between the concepts of the two systems !
One way to look at the Laplace Transform is that it reduces the dimensionality of a differential equation. The LT applied to a partial differential equation converts it to an ordinary differential equation. The LT applied to an ordinary differential equation converts it to an algebraic equation. If you make the s - domain imaginary and extend the lower limit of integration to - inf you get a Fourier Transform.
Imho things get awkward at 20:00. I'm an engineer and not a mathematician so I may be wrong here, but s is a complex number and so is (s - lambda). Posing (s - lambda)=alfa for instance and solving by substitution posing: (-alfa t) = u, dt=-1/alfa du and integrating from 0 to (- infinite) one gets to the final result without any assumptions on the signs of the constants...
I appreciate the step by step, however, making it negative t just complicates things. When you get e^t(a-s) you simply state that for s>a, and that part will give you e to negative infinity.
wow, you have a way of simplifying your explanation in such a way that the brain just find it dissolvable unlike.... Pls can you teach fourier transform too as it relates to medical imaging which i am taking this semester and finding it a hard stone to chew, compounded with radon transform, back projection... my background is basically biology, but taking medical imaging course presently, i am in another world
thank you sir for you explanation. all the lectures i follow to under stand this topic was only to put in confusion. but by your explanation i am beginning to catch up. thanks sir
One thing that causes the most confusion in math and engineering is the difference in symbols and constants. I think it's really important that you explained that lambda is just an arbitrary symbol because I see a used also.
So you find your transform 1/(s-λ) or 1/s and then state that s>λ or s>0. Why? s not equal to λ or s not equal to 0 makes sense. Why 'strictly greater than'? s could be equal to -7 and there is no problem if λ=3 but in this case s
Somewhere around 22 minutes you say that s needs to be greater than the constant in order to make sure that the whole thing doesn't go to infinity. I was just wondering if you can't just say 's-a may not be equal to 0' what makes that 's may not be equal to a'. Then you could also become a negative result when s

Lol, story of my life.

@19:49 a small correction: it does matter what s and lamda are. In the case s >= lambda the integral can be evaluated. If s lambda.
not a small correction, a fundamental important correction, with s not being defined at the very start. This highlights the difference in approach how an engineer and mathematician would approach maths...
