Laplace function a bit limited
Just got a new HP prime C series. I tried some Laplace transform derivations and the first two I picked failed, these were:
1/t which I entered as laplace (1/t, t, s) it returned undef and (1-e^{-t})/t entered as laplace ((1-e^(-t))/t, t, s) returned undef. Question is have I entered the equations incorrectly or is the CAS just limited? The 1/t in particular is a standard function to get the laplace transform of, its just 1/s^2. |

On my first day of Filter Design 214 I learned:

What I wanted to know was whether the calculator knew, obviously it didn't. As I said, this was surpring for such a basic transform. It suggests to me that the Cas capability at least for Laplace transforms might be limited. I shall need to try some more. |

No, you said the following: (11-06-2016 01:37 AM)hsauro Wrote: The 1/t in particular is a standard function to get the laplace transform of, its just 1/s^2. Which is demonstratively false. The CAS is telling you that there is no standard form for: ℒ[1/t] WolframAlpha agrees. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=la...1%2Ft,t,s) "(no result found in terms of standard mathematical functions)" Mark Hardman Ceci n'est pas une signature. |

Prime certainly can do t. Anyone one reading this thread, it's a false alarm, sorry for the confusion. |
