    This update continues the journey of understanding transfer functions. Section 2.6 is the only major addition to this revision. I struggled with this section (re-wrote it several times and I'm still not thrilled about the final product) so please write a ticket for any errors, confusions, or missing content so that I can improve this section over time.
    This section covers the Laplace transform - one of the most important concepts in system analysis and theory. Rather then walk through how to perform the integral (I leave that for the math classes) this section walks through a way to understand the Laplace transform at an intuitive level. This is the final basic concept that is needed to fully understand transfer functions, which we'll close out in the next book release.
    Thank you for all of your support and I hope this helps you on your quest to understand control theory on a more intuitive level. Cheers!

    thank you so much for this explanation, my controls professor just kind of threw the laplace transform at us with no explanation of why we're using it instead of the fourier transform, or where the laplace transform comes from, etc. This is more informative.

    Hey, Brian, your explanation is perfect, that's exactly how I understand the Laplace transform. I wish I had somebody to explain things like this to me back when I was learning this, I had to figure it out the hard way!
    Your work is really important and I will gladly recommend your channel to anyone that is struggling with controls!
    Thanks for the effort and keep up with the good stuff!

    i always thought this was the most difficult part of engineering it requires hundreds of hours of study and dedication and a huge load of previous knowledge.

    Okay. You win the prize! While personally certainly dependent on others as well (and a tad more clarification required), you have clearly detailed most of the remaining shrouded areas that not a single person on the Internet could do. Nice! Will purchase.

  • @renatohugoviloriagonzalez4881

    Desde México, ahora si ya me quedó mas claro, tardé años para llegar a éste punto, soy cabeza lenta, pero se me clarifica better. Si siempre se me explicara así, no importa que sea en inglés.

    I think the integral at 8:55 doesn't converge. you need to multiply the time domain function with the unit step function.

    it would be nice for some general idea of what a laplace transform is for at the beginning. probably good, but over my head.

  • @kiddjmadd
    @kiddjmadd Před 5 lety +1

    Great video! Possible typo for limits of integration on Laplace transform formula at 4:45. I thought it was from zero to infinity vs. minus infinity to infinity.

    • @solewalk
      @solewalk Před 5 lety

      what you are talking about is unilateral Laplace transform while the other is called bilateral Laplace transform. It is not a typo.

    • @shapshooter7769
      @shapshooter7769 Před 4 lety

      Unilateral makes the transformation causal. Which makes sense in the real world.

  • @unit042

    Hi Brian Douglas, I found a typo. At 8:41 of this video, where it shows Page 79 of your book, the large text says "filling out the s plane produces a 3D surface with intersting peaks and valleys". The word "interesting" is misspelled. Good job on these videos, by the way, and thanks for making them!

  • @LawrenceKesteloot
    @LawrenceKesteloot Před 8 lety +7

    Is it accurate to say (at 1:00) that the frequency domain is two-dimensional? I think a two-dimensional function has two inputs (its domain has two dimensions). Here the domain is still one-dimensional (the frequency) and the *value* of the function (its range) has two components (magnitude and phase). I struggled with this a bunch because the Laplace transform's result is truly two dimensional in its domain (frequency and exponential) as well as its range (magnitude and phase, like the Fourier Transform). The jump from one- to two-dimensional domain (from FT to LT) is important, so I don't want readers to be confused by thinking that the FT's result is two-dimensional.

    • @BrianBDouglas
      @BrianBDouglas  Před 8 lety +5

      +Lawrence Kesteloot this is a great clarification and absolutely correct. I do not want to confuse readers with my poor (and wrong) choice of words. I'll make a change for the next release of the book. Thank you for writing this comment! Would you like to submit a ticket here fundamentalsofcontroltheory.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa so I can can give you proper thanks and credit for your comment? If not, no worries, I'll just make an update without it. Cheers!

    • @Zxymr
      @Zxymr Před 6 lety +1

      Hey Brian, thank you for this video, it was really informative in ways rarely seen in other sources. I would like to clarify further on the point of complex dimensionality: is it really right to consider the domain/range as a 2-dimensional one if it's complex? From what I've gathered, for the FT: domain ω is 1-dim real, range F(ω) is 1-dim complex; for the LT: domain s is 1-dim complex, range F(s) is 1-dim complex. I understand that by 2-dimensional, your intended meaning is that it has a real and imaginary component, but my question is: is it really alright to treat them as the same thing altogether? Do inform me if I've made any incorrect assumptions here and thanks again!

    • @BASHA6365

    My important root locus diagram by a spin dampness that form a circle over plus as dampness is forming plus and minus move along exponential x axis this is with reference to a Venus or Mercury spin that forms a semi circle over a circle
    But the Jupiter root locus diagram form a parabolic raise from left side of zero dampness curves up and moving towards jw axis.But the Saturn root locus diagram curves down from plus axis parabolic towards fourth quadrant.Does this indicate undamped oscillation having an infinite raise?If so how this is able to control all the planetary emissions forming the genetic theory of hologram with reference to photonic emission of solar rays which is also having a feedback system may be a converging point we call this GRP that moves at the rate of 30 degrees in every 2 hours.Can this be compared with that of Poincare conjecture spherical.domain that may form a feedback system
