Laplace Transform Symbol in MS Word?

[key78]

Anyone know? I tried Windows Character Map but couldn't find it there.

The styleized ell, you mean? Like in this MathWorld article?

I think you're going to have to find your own font for that. There's no Unicode character designation for it, so you'll need a custom dingbats or symbols font that happens to have it.

Curiously, the fonts Mathematica installs don't include it.

L(f) = ∫ e-st f(t) dt



something like that?

i copied and pasted it off a website, hopefully it works on the hard forums

it messes up the spacing for the ∞ above the "L" and the 0 below it, but you get the general idea

Um, it's just a cursive L and it's normally also written as F(s). btw, it's (integral)e^ -st f(t)dt. You missed an exponentiation there.

yeah, i guess that the hard forums don't do sub/super script, i got that eq from http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=996318
