Complicated convolution operations become simple multiplications via the Laplace transform \(F(s) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x)e^{-s x}dx\) for function \(f\).

The heat equation, \(\frac{\partial \varnothing}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 \varnothing\), uses the Laplacian of \(\varnothing\) to express diffusion through a medium.

The normal density, \(p(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}\), has become important in many applications because of its close relationship to the central limit theorem.
