In this video, we try to evaluate the Gaussian integral. Featuring some multi-variable calculus, some graphs and my Paint illustrations.
Little background:
I first came across this integral in my quantum mechanics class a couple of months ago (see D. Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Ed., Problem 1.3). I thought the way to solve this integral was rather cool, and had it in my list of to-make video for a while now. And here it is.
