Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating a complex integral involving spherical coordinates. Participants suggest converting the integral from spherical to Cartesian coordinates to simplify the evaluation process. There are concerns about the limits of integration that may arise from this conversion. The initial request for guidance highlights the need for resources or step-by-step instructions on integral evaluation. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding coordinate transformations in integral calculus.

Need help to evaluate this integral, or at least some guide lines, or some reference were I can learn how to do it.


\int^{2\pi}_{\phi^{'}=0}\int^{\pi}_{\theta^{'}=0}\int^{b}_{r^{'}=0}e^{ikr^{'}\left[\sin\theta^{'}\left(\cos\left(\phi^{'}-\phi_{1}\right)-\sin\theta_{0}\cos\left(\phi^{'}-\phi_{0}\right)\right)-\cos\theta^{'}\cos\theta_{0}\right]}(r^{'})^{2}\sin\theta^{'}dr^{'}d\theta^{'}d\phi^{'}

Thanks!

Step #1: convert it from spherical to cartesian.
 
Thanks. Although there will be problems with the limits of integration I think it will be a lot easier. :smile:
