 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 ) = ò 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 )
G ( p + n)
p ( p + 1)( p + 2 )L ( p + n - 1) =
G( p)
