MHB Integral Calculus Help - Differentiating e^(-bx^2)

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the integral of e^(-bx^2) and the difficulty encountered when differentiating it twice. The original poster is seeking alternative methods to solve the integral from negative to positive infinity after finding the results from differentiation unsatisfactory. A suggestion is made to consider integration by parts as a potential solution. This approach may simplify the process and yield more manageable results. Overall, the conversation focuses on finding effective techniques for evaluating the integral involving e^(-bx^2).

hi , i need some help in this integral

e^(-bx^2) d^2/dx^2 (e^(-bx^2)) dx from - to + infinityI tried differentiating e^(-bx^2) twice and it came up weird , is there any other way to do it ?

Integration by parts looks like a promising first step.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
