Transient Circuit Analysis: Symbolic
Describes how to use the differential equation solver, deSolve(), to solve first- and second-order circuits containing resistors, capacitors, inductors, DC sources, and exponential sources. It also shows how to graph the solutions and find the zero crossing and peak values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/transient-circuit-analysis--symbolic
Convolution
Shows the convolution of two functions. To simplify the details, the functions are finite, piecewise, and continous.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/convolution
Laplace Analysis: The s-domain
Demonstrates the utility of symbolic algebra by using the Laplace transform to solve a second-order circuit. The method requires that the circuit be converted from the time-domain to the s-domain and then solved for V(s).
