I just want to understand the idea behind Laplace transform. How could the formula be conceived in the form that we know today. Laplace transform is intended to convert linear differential equation to algebraic form. How does this transform apply to non linear differential equations.

To know that you need to take a class in history of mathematics.
Only certain class of Non-linear DEs can be solved through Laplace transform. Google it - and you'll find many scholarly papers on the subject.

At least can anybody explain the Laplace transform intuitively.
A good reference would be:
