5: The Laplace Transform

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The Laplace transform is most useful for solving linear, constant-coefficient ode’s when the inhomogeneous term or its derivative is discontinuous. Although ode’s with discontinuous inhomogeneous terms can also be solved by adopting already learned methods, we will see that the Laplace transform technique provides a simpler, more elegant solution.
