About this calculator

How to use Inverse Laplace Transform Calculator, plus the formulas and logic behind the results.

Tool description

Uses the standard inverse Laplace table for introductory DE courses (unilateral transforms).

How to use

  1. Select the F(s) template.
  2. Enter a or ω if the form needs it.
  3. Select Calculate to view f(t).
  4. Combine results by linearity for sums of terms.

Formulas & reference

  • L⁻¹{1/s} = 1
  • L⁻¹{1/s²} = t
  • L⁻¹{1/(s−a)} = e^{at}
  • L⁻¹{ω/(s²+ω²)} = sin(ωt)
  • L⁻¹{s/(s²+ω²)} = cos(ωt)

Inverse Laplace tips

  • Match your F(s) to a table entry first
  • ω ≠ 0 for the sin/cos forms
  • Linearity: invert each term then add
  • Use the forward Laplace tool to check

Calculation logic

Maps the selected rational F(s) to its elementary inverse from the transform table.

Partial fractions for arbitrary rationals are not performed here.

Inverse Laplace Transform Calculator FAQ

Common questions about this calculator and how to use the results.

What is an inverse Laplace transform?

The operation that recovers f(t) from its transform F(s).

Which F(s) are supported?

1/s, 1/s², 1/(s−a), ω/(s²+ω²), and s/(s²+ω²).

What if I have a polynomial over quadratic?

Decompose into these standard forms first (partial fractions).

Does ω need to be positive?

Any nonzero ω works; sign affects the sine form accordingly.

Is Heaviside shifting included?

Not in this educational table tool.

Is this free?

Yes.
