a simpel coordinate transformaton method is suggested that converts Schr$\"{o}$dinger's equation involving a position-dependent effective mass in a heterostructure to an equation involving a positon-independent effective mass. This method enables the conceptual study of the effect of the positon-dependent effective mass inserted between the divergence operator and the gradient operator in Schr$\"{o}$dinger's equation. It is also shown that the characteristics such as a transmission coefficient in various heterostructures involving a position-dependent effective masses can be obtained iwth ease by the suggested method.
