What is Laplace Calculator?
The Laplace Transform is an integral transform used to solve differential equations. It transforms a function of time, f(t), to a function of complex frequency, F(s). The Laplace Transform is a fundamental tool for bridging the time-domain and the frequency-domain in mathematics, physics, and engineering. A Laplace Calculator is a tool, typically software or an online platform, that automates the process of computing the Laplace Transform or Inverse Laplace Transform of mathematical functions. These calculators are designed to handle a wide range of inputs, including standard mathematical expressions and differential equations, and provide the corresponding results in the s-domain or time-domain.
The mathematical definition of Laplace Transform
The Laplace Transform of a function, defined for , is given by:where:
- 𝑡 is the time variable (real and non-negative),
- 𝑠 is a complex number 𝑠 = 𝜎 + 𝑗𝜔 (with real part 𝜎 and imaginary part 𝜔),
- is the exponential kernel that weights 𝑓(𝑡) based on 𝑠.

What is Inverse Laplace Transform?
The Inverse Laplace Transform is a mathematical operation that converts a function in the s-domain (frequency domain) back into its original form in the t-domain (time domain). It reverses the process of the Laplace Transform.

Laplace Transform Table
Time Domain | Laplace Domain | Region of Convergence |
---|---|---|
Note: This table shows some of the most commonly used Laplace transform pairs. The Region of Convergence (ROC) indicates where the transform is valid in the complex s-plane.
