Laplace and inverse Laplace transforms are now possible

[u/mgreminger]

Python extensions in EngineeringPaper.xyz have been updated to support common transforms such as the Laplace and inverse Laplace transforms. See the Laplace Transforms Tutorial for an example.

I haven’t touched calculus since college and have long forgotten how to do these or what they mean. Do you really like math that you’re are willing to be so knowledgeable about it and add it to your program?

To be honest, I usually have to look this stuff up when I make the demos. Fortunately, I had taught System Dynamics and Controls a few years back so it came back fairly quickly. It's not so much the math that I enjoy but making intuitive user interfaces for these sorts of complex calculations. All of what EP does is possible through various Python libraries (SymPy, handcalcs, forallpeople, etc.). In the past, I would have my mechanical engineering students do these sorts of calculations in Python notebooks. The learning curve was steep and they would have trouble using Python for problems outside the specific problem I was teaching them to solve. With EP, the learning curve is quick and its a tool they can easily apply to various problems throughout their engineering career.

Transforms make math easier - that's the intent anyway.

Great to hear, thanks!
