Using Expected Value to Introduce the Laplace Transform
Lutzer, Carl V.
PRIMUS, v25 n4 p339-348 2015
We propose an introduction to the Laplace transform in which Riemann sums are used to approximate the expected net change in a function, assuming that it quantifies a process that can terminate at random. We assume only a basic understanding of probability.
