var('s t')
f = t^(-1)*exp(-t)-t^(-1)*exp((-3)*t)
f.laplace(t,s)

The above transform works as expected, however, when (-3) is changed to (3), I get the following error:

Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
...
TypeError: ECL says: Maxima asks: Is  s-3  positive, negative, or zero?

The Solution that I am expecting is:

log((s - 3)/(s + 1))

I don't know how to specify if s-3 is positive, negative, or zero. Any ideas?

Thanks, Taylor Killian
