What Does the Laplace Transform Do?
The main idea behind the Laplace Transformation is that we can solve an equation (or system of equations) containing differential and integral terms by transforming the equation in “t-space” to one in “s-space”. This makes the problem much easier to solve. The kinds of problems where the Laplace Transform is invaluable occur in electronics. You can take a sneak preview in the Applications of Laplace section. If needed we can find the inverse Laplace transform, which gives us the solution back in “t-space”.
