This integral looks simple: ∫e^(-x²)dx. But here's the shocking truth — you CANNOT solve it using any technique from calculus. No u-substitution. No integration by parts. Nothing works.

And yet, mathematicians have proven it equals exactly √π.

In this video, I'll show you one of the most beautiful proofs in all of mathematics. A trick so clever, it will change how you think about integrals forever.

🧠 KEY CONCEPTS COVERED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• The Gaussian/Bell Curve
• Double Integrals
• Polar Coordinate Transformation
• The Jacobian Determinant
• U-Substitution
• Connection between e and π

💡 WHY THIS MATTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Gaussian integral isn't just a mathematical curiosity. It's the foundation of:
• The Normal Distribution (statistics)
• Neural Network Weight Initialization
• Diffusion Models (DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion)
• Quantum Mechanics
• Statistical Mechanics

Every time you use an AI that generates images, √π is working behind the scenes.
