To learn about the Laplace transform. To learn about inverse transforms using table lookup methods and review partial fraction expansion (PFE). Also, to learn properties of Laplace transforms that will enable them to be used to transform a variety of signals and to be used for the solution of differential and integral equations. We then apply Laplace transform to solutions of equations and circuit problems.
