Step Response
*All time domain functions are implicitly=0 for t<0 (i.e. they are multiplied by unit step, γ(t)).
†u(t) is more commonly used for the step, but is also used for other things. γ(t) is chosen to avoid confusion
(and because in the Laplace domain it looks a little like a step function, Γ(s)).
