What is a step function?

  There is a function called the unit step function, or Heavisine function, that starts at a certain time when we plot t on the x-axis and the Heavisine function on the Y-axis. We can represent the shear function for a beam as a group of step functions. A discussion of Macaulay’s function with different n values.
