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

Mar 8, 2012 at 9:20 comment added Michael Bächtold The main question is not well posed. Works for doing what?
Mar 8, 2012 at 0:38 comment added Suvrit maybe it's also worth mentioning Stieltjes integrals at this point?

Mar 7, 2012 at 18:46 comment added Yemon Choi "why the Laplace transform works" - do you mean "why are the usual formulas for Laplace transforms correct"? or "what is the conceptual reason why Laplace transforms turn convolutions into products"?
Mar 7, 2012 at 18:28 comment added Steve Huntsman As a cartoon, you can view the Laplace transform as a mapping between time and energy representations (this is what the Gibbs distribution is about). Meanwhile, the Fourier transform is a mapping between time and complex frequency representations.
Mar 7, 2012 at 18:17 comment added Terry Tao $\exp(-st)$ is an eigenfunction of $d/dt$.
