Aug 15, 2013 at 0:22 comment added user38618 simply use laplace transform to solve initial value ordinary differential equations problems and use fourier trnsform when facing partial differencial equation problem
Sep 29, 2012 at 8:40 comment added Suvrit FT uses periodic functions, LT does not: that's quite a striking difference when it comes to modelling boundary and other "time" related conditions, I think.

Feb 24, 2010 at 17:08 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill If you have an initial value problem, say an ODE for a function $x(t)$ with initial conditions at $t=0$, then the Laplace transform is the way to go. The Fourier transform is useful, among other things, to solve for steady-state response.
