Partial differentiation is the same thing as regular differentiation,
except it applies to functions of two and more variables.  The
differentiation with respect to a particular variable is performed in the
usual manner, and all other variables are treated as constants.  It is
used, obviously, when the rate of change of the function with respect to
a particular variable is needed.

Laplace transform of f(x) is an improper integral integral(e^(-st)f(x))
on [0,infinity)
It takes a function f of x and transforms it into a function F of s.  It
is used to transform a linear constant coefficient differential equation
into an algebraic equation with a hope that the algebraic equation would
be easier to solve than the original ODE.  It is most useful when the ODE
has a specific form, particularly if it involves the Heaviside function.

The best way to learn these things, though is to take a class in
multivariable calculus or elementary differential equations
