Laplace's Contributions to Pure Mathematics. Mathematics. By A. W. RICHESON. Pierre Simon Laplace was born in Normandy, France, in 1749 and died in 1827. Very little is known of his youth, since in after life he re- fused to speak of his childhood days.
Mar 23, 2012 · Pierre-Simon Laplace proved the stability of the solar system. In analysis Laplace introduced the potential function and Laplace coefficients. He also put the theory of mathematical probability on a sound footing. View twelve larger pictures.
We now turn to Laplace transforms. The Laplace transform of a function f(t) is defined as F(s) = L[f](s) = Z¥ 0 f(t)e st dt, s > 0.(5.2) This is an improper integral and one needs lim t!¥ f(t)e st = 0 to guarantee convergence. Laplace transforms also have proven useful in engineering for solving circuit problems and doing systems analysis.
