Just got a new HP prime C series. I tried some Laplace transform derivations and the first two I picked failed, these were:
1/t
which I entered as laplace (1/t, t, s)
it returned undef
and
(1-e^{-t})/t
entered as laplace ((1-e^(-t))/t, t, s)
returned undef.
Question is have I entered the equations incorrectly or is the CAS just limited? The 1/t in particular is a standard function to get the laplace transform of, its just 1/s^2.

Of course I know what the Laplace transform of t is. What I wanted to know was whether the calculator knew, obviously it didn't. As I said, this was surpring for such a basic transform. It suggests to me that the Cas capability at least for Laplace transforms might be limited. I shall need to try some more.

No, you said the following:

Which is demonstratively
false.
The CAS is telling you that there is no standard form for:
ℒ[1/t]
WolframAlpha agrees.

My bad I apologize, don't know why I typed in 1/t ! Prime certainly can do t.
Anyone one reading this thread, it's a false alarm, sorry for the confusion.
