Ordinary and partial differential equations describe the way certain quantities vary with time, such as the current in an electrical circuit, the oscillations of a vibrating membrane, or the flow of heat through an insulated conductor. These equations are generally coupled with initial conditions that describe the state of the system at time t = 0. A very powerful technique for solving these problems is that of the Laplace transform, which literally transforms the original differential equation into an elementary algebraic expression. This latter can then simply be transformed once again, into the solution of the original problem. This technique is known as the “Laplace transform method.”
