The current project on which I am working as a software engineer requires
that I perform, in software, a Laplace Transform upon a value as follows.

Qlag  =     Q / (S + 1)

The only information I have to date about S is that it denotes a Laplace
operation.  I'm afraid I don't know what to do with the value Q in regards
to the intended Laplace Transform.  As written, does the equation imply
unequivocably that the Laplace operation is to act upon the value Q?  To
encode the operation in softare, I must know how to manually perform
whatever is to be done.  Although a coworker suggested that a matrix is
involved, I do not yet have a clue how to begin such a calculation.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
