Does anyone know how to take the inverse Laplace transform of

Y(s)= 4/(s+(3+J6)) + -4/(s+(3-J6))

I'll get you started...

4(s+(3-J6)) - 4(s+(3+J6) The whole thing divided by (s+(3+J6))(s+(3-J6))

= -j48/((s+3)^2 + 6^2) Take the Laplace transform of that.

hahah.

I can tell my job doesn't require any of this stuff. I just called it "lap lace" and was like wtf is that

grrrrr... electrical engineers and their cursed "J"

that shit pisses me off to no end

damn, i just took ma 341 in the spring, but i cant remember a damn thing. i liked it at the time though.

fucking laplace and his transforms...
Him and Fourier too....

if we used i we'd get it confused with current.

I'm more of a math person than engineer and I don't see how two lowercase letters can piss so many people off. Next to that, pronouncing Euler (you-ler and oil-er).

im so used to seeing j, ill often get confused when i see an imaginary i.

i have to do fourier and laplace stuff every day. who ever would've thunk that power engineering would require that stuff

kidding aside, the whole Laplace transform idea is really amazing. How in the world did he think up that stuff. It's really bizarre compared to other math, maybe it's just a French thing...

Note that traces of mercury in a hair sample from Newton was something like 40x the safe amount. Makes you think, hm?

6/16/2006 1:09:56 AM

ya, maybe the "safe" level of mercury is not correct.
