      laplace transform scans for sinusoidals and exponentials in your transfer function so you can locate poles (region where you have resonance between your TF denominator and the e^-st function) and zeroes.

    Very nice visuals and lovely structure, great performance, drawing skills, handwriting, even the colors! :)
    One minor advice, if I may: the act of chopping off of the < 0 half could be better communicated (before the "reveal" at ~10:45) by not talking (only; and perhaps a little too lovingly :) ) about the technicalities of H(t), but a) simply stating that we're just going to ignore everything < 0, and b) why that's both necessary and OK to do. Using H for that is trivial, use the time for explaining the rationale (of why the - half is treated differently from the +) instead, so that following it up in the math could feel natural and straightforward.

    Hello Prof. Brunton,
    I have seen in some control textbooks that the Fourier Transform and the Laplace Transform contain the same information about the characteristics of a system and thus either can be used to analyse the system. Here I have a question that I hope you could help me with:
    Why do they describe the same characteristics? I suspect it has something to do with Cauchy's Integral Formula that yields the same result when integrating the modulus of the transfer function over the Nyquist D-contour. Follow-up question: if my suspicion above is correct, then is the relationship only valid for RH-infinity systems (due to maximum modulus principle)?
    Many thanks!
