TITLE: Laplace transformations for dummies
QUESTION [51 upvotes]: Is there a simple explanation of what the Laplace transformations do exactly and how they work?  Reading my math book has left me in a foggy haze of proofs that I don't completely understand. I'm looking for an explanation in layman's terms so that I understand what it is doing as I make these seemingly magical transformations.
I searched the site and closest to an answer was this. However, it is too complicated for me.
