Solving ODEs with Delta functions using Laplace Transforms

Welcome to the final video in our Laplace Transform series! Full playlist for the ODEs course is here:    • Laplace Transforms and Solving ODEs  

In the previous video we introduced the dirac delta or impulse function and studied many of it's nice properties. In this video we show how to solve ordinary differential equations or ODEs that involve the delta function or a bunch of delta functions. For instance, you could imagine a pendulum being repeatedly hit by a hammer, and model that with delta functions. We study the Laplace Transform of the delta function and show how we can solve these types of ODEs.
