LAPLACE TRANSFORM
SIGNIFICANT
Can be extended to solve systems of :
differential equation
partial differential equation
integral equation
DEFINITION
Let f (t ) be defined for [0, ) and let s denote an arbitrary real variable. The Laplace
transform of f (t ) , designated by
e st f (t ) dt
SYMBOL
L{ f (t )}
Laplace transform of f (t )
F (s )
Therefore,
L{ f (t )} = e st f (t ) dt = F ( s )

or
L{ f (t )} = F ( s )
