SYLLABUS
Some equations, e.g., differential equations, are hard to
handle. We look at:
Transforms, namely,
Laplace transforms
Fourier transforms
Applications of transforms, e.g., to solving differential
equations.
In the study we will require the following tools -
Improper integrals
Special functions.

Block One
1 Improper integrals.
2 Laplace transforms.
3 Inverse transforms.
4 Transforms of derivatives.
5 Derivatives of transforms. Transforms of integrals.
6 The step unit function.
7 Periodic functions.
