2. Introduction
• Laplace Transform is an integral transform method.
• It converts a function of time f(t) into a function of complex frequency s.
• Used in engineering, physics, and control theory.
• Helps in solving differential equations easily.

3. Definition & Formula
• The Laplace Transform of f(t), t ≥ 0, is defined as:
• L{f(t)} = ∫₀^∞ e^(-st) f(t) dt
• Where s is a complex number (s = σ + jω).

4. Conditions of Existence
• 1. Function f(t) must be piecewise continuous on every finite interval in [0, ∞).
• 2. f(t) must be of exponential order: |f(t)| ≤ Me^(at) for constants M, a.
• 3. The improper integral must converge.

5. Common Laplace Transforms
• L{1} = 1/s
• L{t} = 1/s²
• L{e^(at)} = 1/(s-a)
• L{sin(bt)} = b/(s² + b²)
• L{cos(bt)} = s/(s² + b²)

6. Properties of Laplace Transform
• 1. Linearity: L{af(t) + bg(t)} = aF(s) + bG(s)
• 2. First Shifting: L{e^(at)f(t)} = F(s-a)
• 3. Time Scaling: L{f(at)} = (1/a)F(s/a)
• 4. Differentiation in time domain: L{f'(t)} = sF(s) - f(0)
• 5. Integration in time domain: L{∫₀^t f(τ)dτ} = F(s)/s

7. Inverse Laplace Transform
• Used to find f(t) from its Laplace transform F(s).
• Denoted as L⁻¹{F(s)} = f(t).
• Found using partial fractions and transform tables.

8. Applications
• 1. Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs).
• 2. Control systems and stability analysis.
• 3. Circuit analysis in electrical engineering.
• 4. Mechanical vibrations and system modeling.
• 5. Signal processing.

9. Solved Example
• Find L{e^(2t) sin(3t)}:
• Using property: L{e^(at) f(t)} = F(s-a)
• We know L{sin(3t)} = 3/(s² + 9).
• Replace s with s-2: 3/((s-2)² + 9).

10. Conclusion
• Laplace Transform simplifies the process of solving complex problems.
• Transforms time-domain problems into the s-domain for easier computation.
• Widely used in mathematics, engineering, and applied sciences.
