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.

A definition of the exponential function that has found application in numerous approximation schemes is \(e^x = \lim_{y\to\infty} \left(1+\frac{x}{y}\right)^y\).
