ABSTRACT

Laplace transforms and their inverses are a mathematical technique which allows students to solve differential equations, by primarily using algebraic methods. This simplification in the solving of equations, coupled with the ability to directly implement electrical components in their transformed form, makes the use of Laplace transforms widespread in both electrical engineering and control systems engineering. This chapter demonstrates how differential equations are solved using Laplace transforms. It describes the procedure to solve differential equations using Laplace transforms and solve differential equations using Laplace transforms. An alternative method of solving differential equations to that is possible by using Laplace transforms.
