The Unit Step Function

This video introduces the unit step function, or Heaviside function. We also look at its translations, so the step can occur at places other than zero.

WOW. Most underrated video on the Unit Step Function. Thank you. You by far have the best explanation on setting it up.

Thank you very much, I wish more educators knew how useful these kinds of videos are.

What if we get (t+2)? Then it will be 0 or -2?

[greekmotivation]

What happened to giving all positive numbers 1 and negative numbers 0?

[MahaAhmadEngx]

i really thank you for this video it was helpful..

[miguelorganizado]

I wonder what would I get if I multiply the terms 3u(t-2), 1u(t-4) instead of substract them???

[arpitdevpandey]

Sir
Due to negative sign in front of -(u-t)
Why graph does not shift in downward
