I my opinion the standard tables (for Laplace transform as integration) are often incomplete and this is why I do not like to depend on them. I know that: $\displaystyle \int_0^{\infty} {3 \over 2}\mathrm{e}^{t^2} \mathrm{e}^{-st} \,\mathrm{d}t = {3 \over s^3}$ and $\displaystyle {3 \over 2}\mathrm{e}^{t^2} = \mathcal{L}^{-1} \left [ {3 \over s^3} \right ]$ can be proofed with Inverse Laplace transform from principles but we did not studied it yet. So, the standard tables report: $\displaystyle t^n = {n ! \over s^{n + 1}}$ It's OK that: $\displaystyle {3 \over 2}\mathrm{e}^{t^2} \Rightarrow {n ! \over s^{n + 1}} \Rightarrow {3 \over s^3}$ But for the reverse process, I am quiet confused. I will appreciate if you make me understand better. Thank you in advance. szz Last edited by szz; November 2nd, 2014 at 04:10 AM.
