Laplace transform calculator

Type a function of t, such as 3 + 2t^2 − 4exp(−2t) + 5sin(3t), and get its Laplace transform F(s), term by term from the standard table.

Sums of constants, tⁿ, exp(at), sin(bt), cos(bt), sinh(bt) and cosh(bt), also multiplied by exp(at).

Fill in the fields; the answer appears here straight away.

How it works

  1. Enter the values

    Type the numbers or the formula. Decimals may use a point or a comma. No idea? Click Fill in an example.

  2. Instant answer

    The answer appears as you type, with the most important intermediate values.

  3. See the working

    Under "How it's worked out" you see the steps, handy for checking your own calculation.

Supported terms

Constants, tⁿ, e^(at), sin(bt), cos(bt), sinh(bt) and cosh(bt), and those terms multiplied by e^(at) (the shift rule). Because the Laplace transform is linear, sums and constant multiples work too.

Examples from the table

  • L{1} = 1/s
  • L{tⁿ} = n! / sⁿ⁺¹
  • L{e^(at)} = 1 / (s − a)
  • L{sin(bt)} = b / (s² + b²)
  • L{e^(at)·cos(bt)} = (s − a) / ((s − a)² + b²)

The result is valid for s greater than the real part of every a. To go back from F(s) to f(t), use the inverse Laplace transform calculator.
