Pierre Simon De Laplace Socks

Description: Rendered on a deep dark background, this artwork presents a damped oscillating signal f(t) transformed into its frequency response F(s), with the integral F(s) = ∫₀^∞ f(t) e^(−st) dt in bold type. Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827) developed the integral transform that bears his name. Engineers use it every day to solve differential equations and analyze circuits, control systems and signals. A gift idea for mechanical engineers, makers and engineering students, and a fitting piece for a workshop, office or study.
