This is actually Laplace's method to evaluate the Gaussian integral, namely the integral of e^(-x^2) from -inf to inf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integral I believe this is a great method because calculus 2 students, with the knowledge of improper integrals and the willingness to see a double integral for the first time, should be able to understand. I will do it the classic way in my new 100 integrals video! Subscribe to @blackpenredpen so you don't miss it!
