 Definition of Laplace
Transformation
 Letthe function be defined for all positive values of, then multiply by
and integrate it with respect to from zero to infinity. If the resulting
integral exists (i.e., has some finite value), it is a function of, may be
real or complex, say.

This function of variable is called Laplace Transformation of the

original function and will be denoted by, where denotes the Laplace
transform operator.

 Learning Outcomes of
Laplace
Transformation
The original main use of Laplace transform is to solve initial
value problems for linear ordinary and partial differential
equations. They can reduce ordinary differential equations to
algebraic equations, and partial differential equations to
ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are
easier to solve, and then the solution in the Laplace domain is
transformed back to the time domain
