Introduction

By definition, the Laplace Transform of a function of time is

 

where indicates the Laplace Transform.
The inverse Laplace Transform is given by

 

where indicates the inverse Laplace Transform and .
The two above equations form the Laplace transform pair. Given a function , we integrate the first one to find its Laplace transform . Then if this function is used to evaluate the second equation, the result will be the original value of . The value of in equation [2] is determined by the region of convergence of equation [1].
