Table Notes
1. This list is not inclusive and only contains some of the more commonly used Laplace transforms and formulas. 2. Recall the definition of hyperbolic trig functions. et + e - t et - e- t cosh ( t ) = sinh ( t ) = 2 2 3. Be careful when using normal trig function vs. hyperbolic trig functions. The only difference in the formulas is the + a2 for the normal trig functions becomes a - a2 for the hyperbolic trig functions! 4. Formula #4 uses the Gamma function which is defined as G ( t ) = e - x xt -1 dx
0

If n is a positive integer then,

G ( n + 1) = n !

The Gamma function is an extension of the normal factorial function. Here are a couple of quick facts for the Gamma function G ( p + 1) = pG ( p ) p ( p + 1)( p + 2 )L ( p + n - 1) = 1 G = p 2 G ( p + n) G( p)
