Let me just say, that my mathematical skill have improved three-four fold since I've been working our out your linear algebra lessons, along with other mathematical concepts. Thank you Prof. Strang!!
I wonder why, though. Dr. Strang didn't go into the intuition behind Laplace transform at all, which is what you need to have to even understand it in the first place.
While the videos with colourful animations on the subject looks great, this the only way to learn. You never get to the depth of mathematics in those videos. Thanks Professor!!
Amazing Prof Strang! Indeed, a professor who knows how and what to teach. I plead to you for help. When I was in fourth grade we learned to extract a square and cube root of a number. It has been so long and one gets used to calculator, that I no longer know how to do that. No one in the RUclips community has posted. I am have a feeling you are the indicated person to refresh my memory. With all my respect, I bid you peace. Muchas gracias!!
I've watched several videos on this topic, but this one is the first one that explains in a few minutes what it's all about, what the purpose is, how to use it and how it works. I probably would have studied better at MIT, then I would have understood the Laplace transformation 30 years ago. Thank you!
Brings me back to 1964 when I was taught Laplace Transforms by a wonderful teacher in India - as good as the MIT professor. I have fulfilled my long lost desire to learn from a MIT professor. I am tickling myself...

Yes, Prof Strang does a good job of explaining how to calculate Laplace transforms. However, no body every explains how or why decided to multiply f(t) by exp(-s*t) and integrate? What was going through Laplace's mind? Why did he do this? What problem was he trying to solve? I understand that exp(-s*t) can be any frequency or decay.
Nice to see things haven't changed much since I learned this back in 1976. My prof had a Texas drawl and it came out as "poes and zerooos." it was then on to missile pitch stability analysis. That summer it was the bi-centennial. Girls were very patriotic back then. Got my flag poes raised in honor of the country.

Hi, What is Laplace of ; If f( x,y ) = k power - ( x+iy) , k > 0 is a Real constant number ? A) relative to x B) relative to y C) relative to x , y Thanks,
@Tzabek So in other words we define s > a to make it work. It reminds me of the chicanery they indulge in in some aeronautical engineering texts I've read, where they integrate something and arbitrarily define the constant of integration as zero. Clearly it's valid, because the airplanes they designed using the math were historically known to work, but it always seemed a bit dishonest to me.
@@Ensign_Cthulhu It isnt that you define it to work. The transform takes a function of 't' and outputs a function of 's'. The domain of the new function of 's' is all 's' for which the integral exists. This is the case for all transforms. Its kind of like when you take derivatives. The formulas are only valid for x values that the derivative actually exists. You just say derivative of ln(x) is 1/x. But the formula is only valid for x's that you actually have a derivative. In this case, x>0. Even though it is perfectly reasonable to plug -1 into 1/x after the fact, it is nonsensical in terms of the derivative.
"The purpose of a Laplace transform is to convert a differential equation into an algebraic equation." Well said, prof.
@123 321 Rarely stated by teachers
@123 321 not really. It’s basic knowledge that you sound like you belong on the subreddit /Iamverysmart though :)
That's true in ODEs, but not in PDEs.

Thanks MIT for sharing such wonderful Gems.
I love this why am I just seeing this…
I've studied advanced calculus for years but this is the best description and explanation so far.
With these videos I'm managing to truly see the connection between what I had seen in different courses at my university
"Do you realize what we've done?" I got chills.
I am so grateful to MIT and their excellent pedagogy for proving us with knowledge through MIT Open Course Ware.

Finally after so many years I could understand the use of LT...thanks Prof for the enlightenment 🙏
Profs in OCW videos almost always use really good chalks. They make such a nice sound, these chalks.
That was an amazing amount of topic coverage for only 2 blackboards full. Great!
Superb clarity ,crystal clear.sincere devoted professor.
Thank you! I don't know why my professors made this so hard to understand. Yet Profs Strang lays it out nicely.
Because they suck at teaching?
I passed my course but I haven’t really understand it until I causally click this video. Thank you RUclips and professor.

Enthusiasm, passion. Something many teachers don't have!
I really enjoy this brilliant man explaining advance mathematics. Just brilliant.
This video is fantastic, easily the best L.T video I've seen
Oh God! This is a really cool explanation of the Laplace Transform . Thank You Dr. Strang
OH MY GOD, THIS IS GILBERT STRANG?! I LOVE HIS WORKS BUT I NEVER SAW HIM
The Laplace Transform of e^(at)=1/(s-a) only true when s>a, so that means we can only conclude the y(t)=y(0)* e^(at) when s>a sir, what about s
If s
very easy to understand. Such an outstanding lesson.
Laplace Transform is one of the best things ever
that was the best class i've ever taken, sir thank you so much
Just so freaking brilliant, that's how you teach
Your explanation is crystal clear thanks prof.
Sensacional....falou o necessário e simples👏👏👏👏em 4 minutos explicou a transformada de Laplace do jeito direto e simples, parabéns 👏👏👏
How can you not love this guy?!
WOW !! THANK YOU Professor and GOD Bless you always.
Very usefull, especially when you might forget a few details along the time...
Always inspired by prof. Strang. Really wish to meet you in person.
You made it 10 times easier for us, Sir. Thanks a million.
This is a solid Laplace transform video.
Inverse Lap Trans.:
Why:
Don't want the transform of the answer, I want the answer
How
We are in the s domain
Transform the answer to get the answer
(Get out of a back to t)
Particular:
What is t variable that makes y(s)
(Integrate
1/s - a
Numerator 1 constant
[So its form is Linear no problem]
Table look up to find the answer

What was going through Laplace's mind? Why did he do this? What problem was he trying to solve? I understand that exp(-s*t) can be any frequency or decay.
I understand it as an extension to Fourier transform that adds decay over time to insure more functions' transforms converge
What a discussion Prof. Strang! Literally smiling the whole time. The discussion’s that good!

4:39 only if (a-S) < 0 !!!😲😲😲

Where the mathematical equations in Dr Barnhardt's office in the movie: "The Day the Earth Stood Still" real? ....or were they gibberish?
what about for s greater than 0 in Laplace transform?

get out😂
that's what happened when they are trying to record a video and limit to only 1 (2) board(s)
Such a great video. Thank you so much!
Why do we consider s greater than a?
at 3:18 why are we limiting ourselves to s>a ?? what about s smaller than a ?
Omar Al-Ani the limit of n-> infinity of e^(a-s)n is zero when the exponent is negative. a - s < 0 => a < s.
Yes, I am golden now !
Not only medical doctors save lives :)
But what happens when a = c???
Thanks ❤️🤍
Is there no duster?
sir.....actually u didnt said y the minus sine used up there.....
Stang is old, but good.
Old is gold
mágic the integrales
at 8:58 what if y fn is inf for t= inf ??
Sir which book you have preferred for this
