Laplace Transform Practice

This document provides an introduction to and examples of using the Laplace transform to solve differential equations. It outlines six key things readers should be able to do with Laplace transforms, including understanding the concept, transforming differential equations into algebraic expressions in the s-domain, taking the Laplace transform of common functions, using properties to simplify expressions, applying the technique to solve differential equations, and solving engineering problems using Laplace transforms. The document then provides practice problems finding the Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform of various functions and using the technique to solve initial value problems.
