    One thing I never liked about this integration technique is that it is not obvious how to choose the auxiliary function. So it is difficult to teach to students, as they would just have to guess at the auxiliary function (or memorize examples) and hope for the best! Feynman has written that he learned the method from a 1926 math book by Frederick Woods (Advanced Calculus: A Course Arranged with Special Reference to the Needs of Students of Applied Mathematics) that was given to him by his high school physics teacher. Perhaps there were enough examples in that text that Feynman knew a whole whack of sample integrals to solve with this method.

      Lol. One thing which is inherent to mathematics is the fact that there is no known technique or algorithm to find a proof, or, appropriately, a disproof, of any mathematical statement. Moreover, it was shown (by Goedel, Turing and others) that such an algorithm can by no means exist.

    I'm not exactly opposed to differentiation under the integral sign, but there are conditions that have to be checked if we're doing mathematics (rather than formal manipulations that may or may not make sense). I find it easier to keep track of the conditions for Fubini's theorem (although the conditions for switching integration & differentiation may be equivalent). Here we have a positive integrand (a e^{-a^2(1+x^2)}), so integrating out x & then a or vice versa will give the same answer.
    'Destroy' is an over-statement. The approach seems to me no more elegant than the usual polar-coordinates trick.
    I also suspect that knowing the answer already helped Feynman to find this path to calculate it. On the other hand, knowing the answer and having seen Feynman's solution to two other integrals (although I had also seen one of those presented using Fubini's theorem), I still had no clue what the trick would be in this case. I tried some ways of writing e^{-x^2} as an integral, but nothing helped.

      Knowing the derivative of arctan is a standard result so yeah you're supposed to just know it or at the very least look it up in an integral results table. It's like integrating 1/(x+1) for example, you could waste time going the long way around or just say its Ln|x+1|. If you want to integrate the 1/(x² +1) function you use a tan trig substitution, it's just long so I skipped over it. Also nearly every method I've seen on solving the gaussian relys on "just knowing" to do certain steps, I understand it can be frustrating if certain steps aren't intuitive

    Quantum Field Infinities
    Contradictory:
    Quantum Field Theory
    Feynman Diagrams with infinite terms like:
    ∫ d4k / (k2 - m2) = ∞
    Perturbative quantum field theories rely on renormalization to subtract infinite quantities from equations, which is an ad-hoc procedure lacking conceptual justification.
    Non-Contradictory:
    Infinitesimal Regulator QFT
    ∫ d4k / [(k2 - m2 + ε2)1/2] < ∞
    Using infinitesimals ε as regulators instead of adhoc renormalization avoids true mathematical infinities while preserving empirical results.

    the numerator inside the integral is NOT exp[ 0 x constant ], it is exp [ zero x infinity ]

We were told of the mean being 5 foots and 6 inches but we are not sure of the standard deviation before we proceed with our own calculation. We remain eager to see your follow up video on that normal distribution of height.

    At 19:57, you say f(t) = 0. Obviously as t goes to infinity, e^-(t^2) goes to zero. It appears to me that makes f(t) = improper integral of 0dx which is C, not zero. If I am missing something, please explain. Loved the video and subscribed.

    • @miloszforman6270

      Of course you usually cannot draw the "lim" under the integral, so
      lim [t→∞] ∫ f(t, x)dx
      will not be equal to
      ∫ lim [t→∞] f(t, x)dx
      in many cases. f(t, x) has to converge _uniformly_ to zero for all x to make this work. And even this might not be sufficient if the integral does not converge absolutely. However, absolute and uniform convergence can easily be confirmed in our present case.

      that's how cults work.
      the cult identity is either attached to individuals being credited for mundane shit, or attached to complete nonsense. this is an example of the former in mathematics. an example of the latter in mathematics would be the claim that 1+1=2 is universally true despite the fact that fraction addition, polynomials, unit conversions, etc. all exist.

    You differentiate wrt a, x constant. At the same step, you integrate wrt x. But if x is constant, then dx = 0. Therefore, the integral is also 0, which is not how you continue the derivation. Have I misunderstood something?

      _"Have I misunderstood something?"_
      Yes. Probably you mean the operation at 6:54. Diffentiating with respect to "a" and integrating with respect to "x" are two different steps. This sequence is reversed at 6:54 ("we're going to bring the derivative inside of the integral"). This reversal is allowed in many cases, that is, if the function in question has a sufficiently benign behaviour. You can construct weird cases where this does not work, so we have to take care.
