Read sections 7.1-7.4, pages 351-378, in Nagle & Saff.
Read the first three sections of Chapter 5, pages 63-69, in the lab manual. These sections show examples of how to compute Laplace transforms with Maple.
Work the following problems in Nagle & Saff. Hand in your solutions at the beginning of class.
Because you need to develop some computational skill with Laplace transforms, you should do these problems either by hand or by using the tables in the book. You may use Maple to check your answers.
Section 7.2, page 363, exercises 9 (compute by hand); 13, 17 (use either the table on page 362 or the table inside the back cover of the book); 30.
Section 7.3, page 369, exercises 1, 9 (use the tables in the book); 23, 29.
Section 7.4, page 379, exercises 3 (complete the square and use the table of Laplace transforms); 21, 25, 27 (work out the partial fractions decomposition by hand, and then use the table of Laplace transforms).
Work on further properties of Laplace transforms and on using Laplace transforms to solve differential equations.
Read sections 7.5 and 7.6, pages 380-399, in Nagle & Saff.
Work the following problems from Nagle & Saff.
Section 7.5, page 387, exercises 7 and 15.
Section 7.6, page 399, exercises 5 and 11.
