SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving the triple integral \(\int\int\int\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}e^{-x^2-y^2-z^2}dxdydz\) with limits from \(-\infty\) to \(\infty\). Participants suggest using a change of variables to spherical coordinates, which simplifies the integration process significantly. This substitution allows for easier evaluation of the integral, confirming that the problem becomes manageable once the appropriate transformation is applied.
