This is precisely what leads to the "forgot to multiply 2pi or 1/(2pi)" problem in the EE / signal processing domain where you FFT and s-/fourier-transform back and forth. Heck, I can never remember which convention any particular library / package decides to adopt (esp. mathematica vs. matlab which IIRC caused tons of confusion and headache during my undergrad).
