August 10, 2012Complex regions involving inequalities (MathsCasts)A discussion of how to sketch complex regions of form Iz-z0I<r, lz-zol>r and related cases, This is then demonstrated with a specific example....more8minPlay
August 09, 2012The quadratic formula: three examples (MathsCasts)This recording demonstrates use of the quadratic formula in relation to three examples: one with 2 distinct solutions, one with a repeated solution and one with no real solutions. The discrminant function is introduced in relation to this....more10minPlay
August 08, 2012The relationship between cosh (x) and sinh (x) (MathsCasts)A demonstration of how to apply the identity (cosh(x))^2-(sinh(x))^2 = 1 and the graphical properties of sinh(x) and cosh(x) to finding sinh(x) if cosh(x) is known and vice versa....more6minPlay
August 07, 2012Differentiating Logs (MathsCasts)3 examples based on differentiating logs with questions at the end for students to try themselves, solutions given also....more5minPlay
August 02, 2012The derivative of a Laplace transform (MathsCasts)We investigate the significance of differentiating a Laplace transform and relate the derivative to the inclusion of an extra factor of 't' in the original transform. The idea is extended to multiple derivatives and powers of t....more11minPlay
August 01, 2012The heaviside step: function as a switch (MathsCasts)We introduce the Heaviside step function and show how it can be used to turn other functions on and off at different positions along the t-axis....more8minPlay
July 31, 2012Evaluating Limits as x approaches infinity Part 1 (MathsCasts)Worked example for solving limits where x is approaching infinity. Includes graph of the function, explanation of the steps involved and why these steps are taken....more5minPlay
July 30, 2012Even and odd rational functions (MathsCasts)Shows how to check if a polynomial is even or odd, and extends this to a rational function....more6minPlay
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
