B I had a question about a way to write Euler's identity
since euler's identity states e^pi*i+-1 is it okay to write down e^pi*= e * -1/e = -1 and would for integers the same rule apply where a^pi*i= a * -1/a = -1 or is it only for the constant e? this might be a stupid question, but i cant find an answer and im curious- jeremyrijsdijk

Given a vector of numbers, say [exp(-a t) ] for t - [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and choose maybe a = -2.4, how can I approximate -2.4 from using Laplace transform methods? I know you can use regression for this, but I'd like to know the Laplace transform (or Z-transform since it is discrete) approach.- cppIStough
