Fourier series are kinde of more graspable if they are taught in the context of signal processing --as a nerd I could understand what the frequency domain was, after all, and the maths made sense to me. But when it comes to Laplace Transform in control systems everything became impossible.


The day I realized Laplace transforms converted difficult linear differential equations into simple algebra problems was the day I began to appreciate Laplace transforms.


Brian Douglas produced a decent set of lectures on control systems, I found them to be quite useful during my degree: https://www.youtube.com/@ControlLectures


It’s definitely worth persisting with the Laplace transform.. you get a ton of stuff you can do when you have H(s)=Y(s)/X(s)
