In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after its inventor Pierre-Simon Laplace is an integral transform that converts a function of a real variable (often time) to a function of a complex variable (complex frequency). The transform has many applications in science and engineering because it is a tool for solving differential equations. In particular, it transforms differential equations into algebraic equations and convolution into multiplication.
The Laplace transform of a function f(t), defined for all real numbers t ≥ 0, is the function F(s), which is a unilateral transform defined by
| (Eq.1) |
where s is a complex number frequency parameter
- , with real numbers σ and ω.
An alternate notation for the Laplace transform is instead of F.
