    1) The document provides examples of evaluating special functions such as the gamma function Γ(x), error function erf(x), Dirac delta function δ(x), and Heaviside step function H(x). 2) Several integrals are evaluated in terms of gamma functions and other special functions. Properties of special functions like the error function are also proved. 3) Laplace transforms of functions involving the Heaviside step function and Dirac delta function are found. Graphs are sketched and Laplace transforms are evaluated for examples like H(t) - H(t - 1), sin(t - π)H(t - π), and tH(t - 2).
