Abstract: 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.

Excellent background ideas for introducing and using the Laplace transform

Keywords: differential equations, expected value, Riemann sum, net change, Laplace transform
