Laplace formulated Laplace's equation, and pioneered the Laplace transform which appears in many branches of mathematical physics, a field that he took a leading role in forming
- 7. 1: Introduction to the Laplace Transform - Mathematics LibreTexts
Definition of the Laplace Transform To define the Laplace transform, we first recall the definition of an improper integral If g is integrable over the interval [a, T] for every T> a, then the improper integral of g over [a, ∞) is defined as ∫∞ ag(t)dt = lim T → ∞∫T ag(t)dt

Pierre-Simon, marquis de Laplace, French mathematician, astronomer, and physicist who was best known for his investigations into the stability of the solar system He successfully accounted for all the observed deviations of the planets from their theoretical orbits Learn more about Laplace’s life and work
- Laplace Transform -- from Wolfram MathWorld
The Laplace transform is an integral transform perhaps second only to the Fourier transform in its utility in solving physical problems The Laplace transform is particularly useful in solving linear ordinary differential equations such as those arising in the analysis of electronic circuits
- Laplace, Pierre-Simon Marquis de - Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Laplace held the view that man, in contrast to the "demon", was capable of achieving only partial knowledge about the causes and laws which regulate the processes of the cosmos, but he maintained that probability theory was a means to overcome this defiency
- Pierre-Simon Laplace - History of Math and Technology
His contributions to celestial mechanics, probability theory, and mathematical physics laid the foundation for many of the scientific advancements of the modern era Laplace’s legacy continues to inspire and influence mathematicians and scientists around the world, making him one of the most important figures in the history of mathematics
