    Finding Shortcuts to Solve Big Math Problems

    is there a formula to solve a long series of addition of say 18 through 10748 instead of doing the tedious summing of 18+19+20+...+10748 there probably is but i found a formula yesterday and I want see if it is the same how about multiplication - is there an easy way of computing 97...

    Need help compute the laplace transform

    need help compute the laplace transform of h(t)= -5t^2 I took the integral((-5t^2)e^-(st)) i forgot integration by parts so i did it the hard way in my head and finally got lim t -> oo 5[(-1/s)(t^2)(e^-st) - (2te^-st) - (2se^-st)] 0--oo i got 10s but the book says -10/s^3 did i get the...

    Understanding the concept of laplace transformations

    I'm having trouble understanding the concept of laplace transformations. my book states that it is comparing how much a function y(t) is like a standard function. what exactly does the answer mean such as y(s)=1/(s-2) is this the differnence between the functions depending on the value of s...
