The discussion focuses on the inverse Laplace transform of the function 1/s(s-2). The method of partial fractions is utilized to decompose the function into simpler components, specifically A/s + B/(s-2). Participants emphasize the importance of determining the constants A and B by multiplying both sides of the equation by s(s-2) and substituting simple values for s to derive two equations. This technique is rooted in the principles established by mathematician Leonhard Euler.
