How Gauss solved the integral of e^(-x^2) from 0 to infinity
Here's how Gauss solved the Gaussian Integral, i.e. the integral of e^(-x^2) from 0 to infinity, by using the polar coordinate. This is a must-know integral for your multi-variable calculus class! To see how Laplace solved the Gaussian integral, click here: • how Laplace solved the...

Very cool integral. Seeing this helps me to understand why the function for the normal distribution curve has the 1/sqrt(2*pi) in the front.
I am obsessed with this integral and the gamma function

Can't believe a semester ago I mastered this and now I completely forgot how to solve this. Thanks for showing me I have to practice more.
I find it interesting that the jacobian matrix you end up getting is just the rotation matrix in R2 multiplied on the right by the column vector [1 ; r]. There must be an explicit reason for this beyond "the math just works out that way."
He's truly the best
beautiful
brilliant
We get this problem in Class 12th Cengage Dpp
too good
The region of this double integral is a circle ,the bound for theta should be integrating from 0 to 2 pi , isn’t?

Oh bc we are only integrating it from x=0 to inf. We are in the first quadrant.
Can you explain what the jacobian is and prove the formula to calculate it?

@@user-ks5ci6bs6xreally? in poland i had it first in analysis 3(we don't have calc curses specifically but analysis is mostly the same as calc in america pretty sure) and then the use like demonstrated here in analysis 4. both times with proofs.

Integral of e^(-x^2) dx from 0 to infinity is just a number. Remember, it is a definite integral. Integral of e^(-y^2) dy from 0 to infinity is also another number, which is the same number as before. If you let I = Integral of e^(-x^2) dx, (Note, I is now a number also. I'm lazy to write out the limits, but just assume the limits are all 0 to infinity) and since you know Integral of e^(-x^2) dx = Integral of e^(-y^2) dy Thats why I^2 = (Integral of e^(-x^2) dx) (Integral of e^(-y^2) dy) = double integral e^-(x^2+y^2) dx dy The reason for this procedure is because, there is a neat trick for integrating anything containing "x^2+y^2". The trick is changing to polar coordinates. As for why integral f(x) dx integral g(y) dy = double integral f(x) g(y) dx dy. Its because of the property of summation
Sir, I don't understand the point of intigral multiplication? Plese shwo me
how did u know that it is in the first quadrant?

Both x and y lies from 0 to infinity therefore both are positive Hence it lies in first quadrant
Why integrate theda from 0 to pi/2 but not 2pi?

Ig its bcoz we jus only considered the first quadrant in the circle when we changed it into polar form like more than pi/2 its juss a matter of perspective

the original bounds of both x and y were positive and hence we're only in the first quadrant. Hence the theta can only be 0 to pi/2
-infinity to infinity π
First
That is not correct manner , because the y= e^-x^2 is not equal the e^-y^2
