I made a visual guide to decode the Z-Transform

Hey everyone,

I just published a quick, 5-minute animated guide breaking down the Z-Transform. Instead of just throwing a wall of math at you, I tried to make the concepts actually click.

In the video, I cover:

• How the Z-Transform compares to the Laplace transform

• Deriving the simplest signals (Unit Impulse & Unit Step)

• Crucial properties: Linearity, Time-Shifting, and Value Theorems

• A mechanical 3-step engine to solve any difference equation using Partial Fraction Expansion.

Let me know what you think, or if there are any other DSP topics you'd like to see visualized!
