Laplace transforms to do integrals?

[cragar]

My teacher said that the computer uses laplace transforms to do integrals , does anyone know how this is done , or where i could find info on this

The integral \int_0^t f(t) dt

is the inverse Laplace transform of \frac{F(s)}{s}

I don't think that evaluating Bromwich integral of F(s)/s is much easier than evaluating the integral f(t) directly. But who knows, may be its true with computer.
