In trying to avoid 'how to do the Laplace Transform' I badly framed the question.

Why How does the Laplace Transform work for circuit analysis?

I would like to understand how signals transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain for algebraic manipulation, can be transformed back to give solutions in the time domain. Knowing how to do it is not enough. I would like to know why the Laplace transformit works.

Is it that when multiplying a function by exp(-st) that the area captured beneath the curve during integration in the time domain, gives a transform of the function to a unique function in another linear vector space, the frequency domain, and that combinations in that other space uniquely transform back to functions in the time domain?
