Usage hints:
1- Consider using the fast forward button on Windows Media Player (WMP) to play the following videos with a speed up.
on WMP 10 you get speeds 1.4, 2, 5 by repeated clicks on fast forward button.
On WMP 11 one click on fastforward gets you speed 1.4 which is probably all you need, but you can click on "Now Playing" choose "Enhancements" Choose "Play Speed Settings" and adjust the speed up factor as you wish.
You may want to read about speed at Windows Media Player .
2- Videos before Section 2.4 are somewhat choppy.

Corrections:
1- At time 15:20 the mutiple of ( t) is changed from (a) to (b). But on some formulas the change has not been carried out. In front of Sinh(bt) and Sin(bt) the numerator should read (b), and not (a).
2- At time 17:00 the right side of table needs the restriction s > a.
3- At time 32:50 instead of writing S+1 I write S-1. The error continues to the end of video. The problem is corrected and re-done in the next video.
