[sdiy] Transfer Functions

[Stewart Pye]

Thanks Tim,

I've realised it would be a struggle for me to learn the mathematics 
involved. I'm pushed for time as it is and would rather spend it doing 
something I enjoy, and that level of maths is not something I enjoy. I 
generally understand how circuits work and know what to fiddle with to 
change them so I should be able to get by without knowing what a Laplace 
transform is.


Regards,
Stewart.
