Introduction to Laplace Transform In mathematics Laplace transform is a usual device which is used to convert one type of problem in to another form problem .It is the function which simplify any type of problem. Laplace transform discovered by pierre simon delaplace in ( 1749-1827) and He was noted French Mathemtian and astronomer.The strategy of discovering Laplace transform was to solve transformations problem using laplace transform function. The procedure in case of using laplace transform is as follows; Initial value probem=>Algebra problem =>solution of the algebra problem =>solution of the initial value problem.this procedure is important in case of solving mathematical prolem. 1.1BASIC DEFITION OF LAPLACE TRANSFORM Definition 1.1 Laplace Transform is a function denoted by L{f(t)} and defined by

L{f(t)}(s) =limt e -stf(t)dt for all s It is congervent.

Example 1.1 Evaluate l {1}

Solution f(t) =1, l {t} = e -stf(t)dt

0

l {1}=limb e -st( 1) dt =limb -e-st /s |b0

0

limb -e-st /s +1 = 1/s provided s >0 Definition 1.2 L is a linear operation for a sum of functions we can write as follows

-st -st -st e * f(t)+ g(t)+ dt = e f(t)dt + e g(t)dt

Whenever both integral convergent.Hence ot follows that L{ f(t)+g(t)-= L, f(t)-+ L,g(t)-= F(s) + G(S)
