ya it's cool.you try to find the square of the quantity,with one variable x and the other y.then you integrate them simultaneously,a double integral.It's easy to evaluate once you transform it to polar coordinates.Nice One.Answer is root pi

It can be solved by GAMMA FUNCTION=integrate(0-infinity)e^-x.x^(n-1)dx for all x>=1 x belongs to Z+!!!

Although $$\int e^{-x^2}\,dx$$ can't be expressed in terms of elementary functions, we can evaluate $$\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx$$. Doing so yields $$\sqrt{\pi}$$ (for justification see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integral#Computation).

This function is not integrable using the methods we learn till Undergraduate college level. I don't know about what we learn in college...

As our function is an even function therefore split the limit of integration from -infinity to +infinity as 2 times 0 to infinity and use Gamma function by making a suitable substitution. It can also be done by converting the problem into polar form.

another not-so-cool way is to use gamma function.use the substitution x=root u

lower limit is negative infinity..

is it 0

I think ans is 0 .. I think we can solve it using integration by part
