Why is the upper bound on the gaussian integral 2pi?

135 Views Asked by At

If you integrate the gaussian integral using polar coordinates you can convert into the following integral:

$$\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi} \int _{r=0}^{r=\infty} e^{-r^2}r dr d\theta=I^2$$

I get the conversion from -$\infty$ and $\infty$, to 0 and $\infty$ because radius is always positive but what about the theta bounds? The minimum angle of 0, if you draw out the graph of $e^{-x^2}$ the lowest angle you can go to is 0(As x approaches $\infty$ which is valid because one of the bounds are $\infty$) using this same logic shouldn't the other bound should be $\pi$?

Only the domain of the function that you are integrating matters here. In this case, that domain is $\Bbb R^2$. In particular, there are points of the domain all around $(0,0)$, and that's why we take $0\leqslant\theta\leqslant2\pi$. The same thing would have occurred if the domain was, say, the closed disk centered at $(0,0)$ with radius $1$. But if it was, say, $\{(x,y)\in\Bbb R^2\mid y\geqslant0\}$ (that is, the upper half-plane), then we would take $0\leqslant\theta\leqslant\pi$.
