• Laplace transform definition
• Introduction to MATLAB 1
The Laplace Transform
• The Laplace transform is a mathematical
operation that takes an equation from
being a function of time, t, to being a
function of the Laplace variable, s

Relationship
• Previously, saw how poles of X(s) relate to
x(t)
• Two further relationships between X(s) and
x(t):
