Bromwich Integral

The inverse of the Laplace Transform, given by

\begin{displaymath}
F(t)={1\over 2\pi i}\int^{\gamma+i\infty}_{\gamma-i\infty} e^{st} f(s)\,ds,
\end{displaymath}

where $\gamma$ is a vertical Contour in the Complex Plane chosen so that all singularities of $f(s)$ are to the left of it.
