Page 7 - LAPLACE TRANSFORM

1.0 UNDERSTAND LAPLACE TRANSFORM

Laplace transform is a continuous function, f(t) and is represented by

F(s) = ʆ {f(t)}

It helps to solve the differential equations, where it reduces the differential equation

into an algebraic problem.

Applications of Laplace Transform

It is used;

a) to convert complex differential equations to a simpler form having polynomials.

b) to convert derivatives into multiple domain variables and then convert the

polynomials.

c) back to the differential equation using Inverse Laplace transform.

d) in the telecommunication field to send signals to both the sides of the medium.

e) for many engineering tasks such as Electrical Circuit Analysis, Digital Signal

Processing and System Modelling.
