Resolution of First- and Second-Order Linear Differential Equations with Periodic Inputs by a Computer Algebra System

In signal processing, a pulse means a rapid change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. A square wave function may be viewed as a pulse that repeats its occurrence periodically but the return to the baseline...
