Gaussian Integral 4 Feynman way

Welcome to the awesome 12-part series on the Gaussian integral. In this series of videos, I calculate the Gaussian integral in 12 different ways. Which method is the best? Watch and find out!
In this video, I use a technique similar to Feynman's technique by differentiating a more complicated integral and using the FTC.
Note: This series of videos is based on Keith Conrad's notes, which can be found here: www.math.uconn.edu/~kconrad/bl...

    Hey I was in my calculus class yesterday and my teacher was talking about solids of revolution. We rotated an arbitrary function over vertical and horizontal lines and I wondered: what would be the formula for the rotation around a line on the form y=ax+b? What if we rotate f(x) around a non linear function, such as x² or 2^x? Would that even be possible or make sense? Make a video about it

    There is a linear algebra/trig method of modifying the x and y in a relation in order to rotate the function, I reckon you could do that to find the function in a frame of reference that’s equivalent

    I don't know why they call it Feynman's trick. Maybe Feynman used to use it a lot in physics problems ? I took it in third year in a measure and integration theory course, it is called functions defined by integrals, parametric integrals, and continuity and differentiation under the integral sign. We never said the word Feynman in the whole course. I don't think Feynman discovered or introduced or proved these properties, these are purely mathematical properties and don't have their origins from physics, I think he used to use it so much in problems so it is called Feynman's trick, not property or theorem, he was using this trick to solve some hard problems.

    Same here bro, ok he used it so much in problems, but why should it be referred as Feynman's trick or Feynman's integration trick? He has nothing to do with it, except using it a lot after a great mathematician discovering it, and proving it, or maybe even another mathematician proving it(generally speaking). Yeah I think I saw it somewhere as Leibniz's theorem or something like that, I don't remember well, I could be wrong.

    I hate when someone (a mathematician for example) dicovers or develops a theory in maths just to use it in another domain. Like calculus, they say that calculus is invented to be used in physics, and others say that calculus is physics but written in a rigorous and mathematical way. NO !!! Calculus is a part of Mathematics, like Geometry, Algebra, Topology, Arithmetics, Statistics, Probability,... Ok it has A LOT of applications in physics, but it IS Mathematics. I do the maths for the maths, and not for anything else, I don't care.

    @@patricksalhany8787 You may do mathematics for the sake of mathematics, but many fields of mathematics have had their origins in physics. For example, calculus originated due to Isaac Newton trying to make the law of gravitation mathematically applicable. Fourier analysis emerged due to Joseph Fourier trying to understand how the temperature on a rod with a certain temperature distribution will evolve over time. Riemannian geometry, although originated as a part of abstract mathematics, was largely developed due to its application in the General Theory of Relativity. Two of the Millenium Prize problems are actually problems from physics (Navier-Stokes smoothness and existence problem and Yang-Mills mass gap problem). Thus, please don't hate applied mathematics. Rather, let us appreciate the mutual embrace of mathematics and physics and how it helps us to have ever more better descriptions of our universe.
