1.0 Introduction
Integral transforms are fundamental to the solution of differential (ordinary and partial) as well as integral equations. They sometimes provide a means of obtaining closed form solutions to some nonlinear equations. In this seminar work we examine the properties of Laplace and Fourier transforms and their applications to the solution of differential equations.
1.1 Definition (Integral Transform)
Given a known function K(a,x) of two variables a and x such that the integral
(1)
is convergent, then the integral (1) is termed as the integral transform of the function
/(x) denoted /(:e)or T{f(x)}, i.e.
f(x) = T{f(x)}=[K(a,x)f(x)dx                            (2)
The function K(a,x) is known as the Kernel of the transformation and a is a parameter (real or complex) independent of x.
1.2 Example: Suppose we take the Kernel,
K(a,x) = K(s,t) = 0   for  t<0
= e-st for t>0 Then the transform
is known as the Laplace Transform.
1.3 Definition (Laplace Transform)
Let /(Obe a function defined for all positive values oft, then the Laplace transform
of f(t) denoted by
Where s is a parameter.
1.4  Remark: if  the integral ests f(f)dt converges for some value of s, then the Laplace transform is said to exist, otherwise it does not exist, which gives inverting the transform
