What this is

This is an attempt to extend Maxima to handle Laplace Transforms of expressions involving Dirac Delta, Heaviside, and unit doublet functionals.

Goals

• Maxima should compute the functionals at points where it makes sense.
• Maxima should take symbolic derivatives of expressions involving these functionals.
• Maxima should compute Laplace Transforms of expressions involving these functionals, especially where such expressions might appear in an introductory differential equations course.
• Maxima should compute definite integrals involving these functionals.
• [] Maxima should compute indefinite integrals involving these functionals.
• [] Maxima should compute Inverse Laplace Transforms where the result involves these functionals, especially where such might be exercises in an introductory differential equations course.
