Inverse Laplace Transform Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to compute the inverse Laplace transform of a given function using partial fraction decomposition. It compares this method with convolution, previously discussed. The process involves factoring the denominator, setting up equations for partial fractions, solving for coefficients, and finally calculating the inverse Laplace transform. The tutorial concludes with the result of the inverse Laplace transform as a function of time.
