July 27, 2012Laplace transform of piecewise-defined functions (MathsCasts)We investigate the Laplace transform of a function when multiplied by the Heaviside step-function. The 2nd shift theorem is introduced. It is shown how to prepare a function for use with the 2nd shift theorem....more11minPlay
July 26, 2012Introduction to Laplace transforms (MathsCasts)Defines the Laplace transform. Briefly describes the uses of a Laplace transform then deals with technical issues such as what is meant by infinity integration limit. Concludes with explanation of the restrictions on the Laplace variable 's'....more11minPlay
July 25, 2012Separable Differential Equations Example 2 (MathsCasts)This screencast demonstrates how to solve a first-order separable differential equation in the case where the right hand side of the equation is a mixture of x and y terms that needs to be factorised so that the equation can be separated and solved....more6minPlay
July 23, 2012Separable Differential Equations Example 1 (MathsCasts)This screencast gives an example of how to solve the first order separable differential equation: 2x/((1+x^2)y)...more5minPlay
July 20, 2012Eigenvalues and eigenvectors (MathsCasts)Explains graphically what it means to multiply a matrix and a vector. Then introduces eigenvectors as vectors belonging to the matrix with a special property in matrix vector multiplication. Eigenvalues are also explained in this context....more11minPlay
July 19, 2012Even functions (MathsCasts)We explain what is meant by an even function in terms of symmetry, then give a rule satisfied by the function. We show how to test for evenness then discuss the area under the graph of an even function between points an equal distance of the y axis....more8minPlay
July 19, 2012Odd functions (MathsCasts)We explain what is meant by an odd function in terms of symmetry, then give a rule satisfied by the function. We show how to test for oddness then discuss the area under the graph of an even function between points an equal distance of the y axis....more9minPlay
July 19, 2012Half-range Fourier series: Part 1 (MathsCasts)We continue the theme of half range series and examine how the integrations can be simplified using the symmetry of the function. Here we examine a half-range cosine series for a linear f(t)....more10minPlay
July 17, 2012Velocity and acceleration given position vector (MathsCasts)This recording shows how velocity and acceleration of a particle travelling through 3D space are calculated given we have a general vector expression for the position vector at time t - this is then illustrated with a specific example....more5minPlay
July 13, 2012Roots of a complex number: Part 2 (MathsCasts)Solve a question about finding the roots of a complex number....more8minPlay
