In my Differential Equations class we are currently working with Laplace Transforms.

Textbook definitions aside, I want to hear YOUR personal conceptualization on the definition and use. This is just so I can see how others interpret the "use" of this operation and the "value" of its terms differently, if at all.

1. Describe what the tool "does" in your own words.
2. How useful do you feel this tool is, as compared to other methods, for working complex and simple equations. In my Differential Equations class we are currently working with Laplace Transforms.
