Also perhaps units conventions etc may be different in EE and Physics, like use of Gaussian units in electrodynamics in Physics, and also things like the mysterious 'Z'-transform that seems to pervade much of EE.
- exmadscientist 6y agoGaussian units seem to be on their way out. I, for one, won't miss them. (Or cgs.) The Z-transform is much more related to the others than is clear at first glance. This post on transforms [0] from the The n-Category Café is fascinating, and my go-to for understanding what the Laplace transform really is, even if I don't quite grasp many things in the post. (And I also have a math degree! But not a graduate one in active use, as most of the people around there do.) https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2019/07/what_is_the_laplace_transform.html https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2019/07/what_is_the_lap...
- nyanpasu64 6y ago> the Laplace transform is really just a generalization of the familiar Laurent series representation of complex analytic functions, but where the exponents are allowed to be non-integers and to “vary continuously” rather than discretely. I understand some of these words... they're very familiar to me... I'm saying this as someone who's dealt with the discrete and continuous time Fourier transforms, and Z-transform, and wants to get into Laplace transforms.
