Integrating over off-centered circle in polar coordinates

363 Views Asked by At

I want to solve the integration

$$ \int \int \frac{rdrd\theta}{1+r^2 /s}$$

over the a disk centered at $(r_t,\theta_t)$ with radius $r_0$, where $r_t \neq 0$ and $\theta_t \neq 0$.

The problem here is that the integral limits are complicated in both $r$ and $\theta$. To simplify matters I did the following instead

$$ \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{r_0} \frac{(r-r_t)drd\theta}{1+(r-r_t)^2/s} =2\pi\int_0^{r_0} \frac{(r-r_t)dr}{1+(r-r_t)^2/s} $$

which shifts the disk to the origin and hence greatly simplifying the limits.

Is it valid? If not how to proceed?
