Laplace Transform IVP Solver: Step-by-Step Solutions

IVPs with formula, step/pulse or impulse forcing. Every step of the solution is shown, as you would write it on paper, using exact fractions.

What it solves

Solve $a_n{y}^{(n)}+\cdots +a_{0}y=f(t)$ with $y(0),y^{\prime }(0),\dots$ given. The forcing can be a formula, a step/pulse $A$ on $a\le t<b$ (leave $b$ empty for a step that stays on), or an impulse $A\delta (t-a)$.

How to use it

1. Enter your own numbers or functions in the boxes (an example is already filled in, or press Random example).
2. Check the equation preview, then press Solve step by step.
3. Reveal the solution one step at a time with Next step, or show everything at once.

Need the theory first? Read Section 9.3: Solving Linear Equations with Constant Coefficients, which explains the method in small steps with worked examples and exercises, then come back and test yourself with the Chapter 9 quiz.
