-# (Heaviside) Unit step function
-We got a joke! Heaviside (British electrician) was told during a restaurant that mathematicians are finally using his formula, he replied: I don't need the chef to tell me the food was good. (a lil bit cynical!)
-Anyways, the Heaviside step function is defined as:
-
-$u(t-a)=\begin{cases}0,\quad t<a \\1,\quad a\leq t\end{cases}$
-graph it, it just "switches on" when $t=a$
-if we use laplace transforms we will see that solving equations with this Heaviside function is very natural. Using #mouc wont work, #voparam might work but it's messy.
-
-#ex
-compute:
-$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}$
-$\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-st}u(t-a)f(t-a)\, dt$
-$=\int _{a}^\infty e^{-st}\cdot 1f(t-a)\, dt$
-let $x=t-a$
-$=\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-s(x+a)}f(x)\, dx$
-$=e^{-as}\int _{0} ^\infty e^{-sx}f(x)\, dx$
-the right side is nothing but the LT of f. How nice!
-$$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t-a)\}=e^{-as}F(s)$$
-Very useful formula! ^
-$\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t)\}=\mathcal{L}\{u(t-a)f(t+a-a)\}=e^{-as}\mathcal{L}\{f(t+a)\}$
-$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{e^{-as}F(s)\}=u(t-a)f(t-a)$
-#ex 
-multiple functions being switched:
-$f(t)=\begin{cases} 1, \quad t<1 \\ t, \quad 1\leq t\leq \pi \\ \sin(t), \quad \pi\leq t\end{cases}$
-then we express it using heaviside functions:
-$f(t)=1-u(t-1)+tu(t-1)-tu(t-\pi)+\sin(t)u(t-\pi)$
-think it about switching on certain parts of the equation at certain times t.
-
-#ex 
-current in electric circuit I(t) is defined by:
-$I''+I=g(t),\quad I(0)=I'(0)=0$
-$g(t)=\begin{cases}1,\quad 0\leq t<\pi \\ -1,\quad \pi\leq t\end{cases}$
-find $I(t)$
-the capacitance here is huge, 1F! (I believe it comes from the coefficient of $y$ term)
-and we are switching it instantaneously, lets imagine we don't blow anything up.
-$I''+I=1-2u(t-\pi)$
-$\mathcal{L}\{I(t)\}=J(s)$
-$s\cdot I(0)=s\cdot I'(0)=0$
-using formula we derived in earlier ex:
-$s^2J(s)+J=\frac{1}{s}-\frac{2e^{-\pi s}}{s}$
-$J=\underbrace{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} }_{ =F(s) }-2 \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)}e^{-\pi s}$
-$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{1}{s(s^2+1)} \right\}=\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{\frac{1}{s}-\frac{s}{s^2+1}\}=1-\cos t$
-$=1-\cos(t)-2u(t-\pi)(1-\cos(t+\pi))$
-$$=1-\cos(t)-2u(t-\pi)(1+\cos(t))$$

-Laplace transforms: definition and 4 important properties
-That's all that will be covered on the midterm. 25 minutes spent covering what will be on the midterm!
-
-So, why did we learn all this stuff about laplace transforms? We will now see how its useful:
-
-#ex #LT #second_order_nonhomogenous 
-$$y''+y=t^2+2 \qquad y(0)=1 \qquad y'(0)=-1$$
-LHS=RHS, so the Laplace transforms of each side must also be equal:
-$\mathcal{L}\{y''+y\}=\mathcal{L}\{t^2+2\}$
-applying linearity:
-$\mathcal{L}\{y''\}+\mathcal{L}\{y\}=\mathcal{L}\{t^2\}+\mathcal{L}\{2\}$
-using properties:
-$s^2Y(s)-s+1+Y(s)=\frac{2!}{s^3}+\frac{2}{s}$
-factor out Y(s)
-$Y(s)(s^2+1)=\frac{2(s^2+1)}{s^3}+s-1$
-$Y(s)=\frac{2}{s^3}+\frac{s}{s^2+1}-\frac{1}{s^2+1}$
-now we take the inverse LT to obtain y(s)
-$$y(t)=t^2+\cos(t)-\sin(t)$$
-Done!
-
-second example:
-#ex #LT #second_order_nonhomogenous 
-$$y''-y=(t-2)e^{t-2} \qquad y(2)=0 \qquad y'(2)=0$$
-we need y at 0 but its as 2.
-so we make a substitution: $x=t-2$
-$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}-y=xe^x$ <- notice the y here is not the same as the y above, lousy notation again :) 
-where $y(0)=0 \qquad \frac{dy}{dx}(0)=0$
-hit it with the LT!
-notice 1/s^2 is LT of x so we have to shift it
-$s^2Y(s)-Y(s) =\frac{1}{(s-1)^2}$
-$Y(s)=\frac{1}{(s-1)^3(s+1)}=\frac{A}{s-1}+\frac{B}{(s-1)^2}+\frac{C}{(s-1)^3}+\frac{D}{s+1}$
-$\frac{{A(s-1)^2(s+1)+B(s-1)(s+1)+C(s+1)+D(s-1)^3}}{(s-1)^3(s+1)}$
-$\begin{matrix}A+D=0  \\-A-B-3D=0 \\ -A+c+3D=0 \\ A-B+C-D=1\end{matrix}$
-$A=\frac{1}{8}$
-$B=-\frac{1}{4}$
-$C=\frac{1}{2}$
-$D=-\frac{1}{8}$
-plug into expression then take inv LT to obtain y(t):
-final solution: $y(x)=\frac{1}{8}e^x-\frac{1}{4}xe^x+\frac{1}{4}x^2e^x-\frac{1}{8}e^-x$
-where x=t-2
-all done!

-
-$s^2Y(s)-\frac{d}{ds}\mathcal{L}\{y'\}-2Y(s)=\frac{2}{s}$
-$s^2Y-\frac{d}{ds}(sY(s))-2Y=\frac{2}{s}$
-apply product rule:
-$s^2Y-Y-s\frac{dY}{ds}=\frac{2}{s}$
-^ Boooo! another differential equation! :(
-$\frac{dY}{ds}$ lies in the s "phase space"
-$-s\frac{dY}{ds}+s\left( s-\frac{3}{5} \right)=\frac{2}{s}$
-This is a linear equation!
-divide by -s to get it in standard form
-$\frac{dY}{ds}-\left( s-\frac{3}{5} \right)y=-\frac{2}{s^2}$
-compute integrating factor:
-$\mu(s)=e^{-\int (s-3/s) \, ds}=e^{-s^2/2}e^{\ln{s^3}}=s^3e^{-s^2/2}$
-$\frac{d}{ds}(s^3e^{-s^2/2}Y)=-2se^{-s^2/2}$
-
-$s^3e^{-s^2/2}Y=-2\int se^{-s^2/2} \, ds$
-use u sub.
-$u=\frac{s^2}{2}$
-$-2\int e^{-u}  \, du$
-$=2e^{-s^2/2}+C$
-$Y(s)=2s^3+C \frac{e^{s^2/2}}{s^3}$
-is this even a legitimate thing to take an inverse of?
-the lim of the expression approaches inf as s approaches inf
-So what do we do? Well we have that C term. We have to set $C=0$
-then:
-$Y(s)=\frac{2}{s^3}$
-$$y(t)=t^2$$
-we just solved a new equation that hasn't fit into our previous equation types using LT. How cool is that!
