I am attempting to solve the integral of the following...



$$int_0^2 piint_0^inftye^-r^2rdrTheta $$



So I do the following step...



$$=2 piint_0^inftye^-r^2rdr$$



but then the next step is to substitute $s = -r^2$ which results in...



$$=2 piint_- infty^0frac12e^sds$$



The limits of integration are reversed now and the $r$ somehow results in $1/2$.



Can someone explain why this works? Why did substituting cause the limits change and result in the integration above?

    This constellation of consequences is why I recommend to my students to set $s = r^2$. This gives fewer minus signs and since the substituent is monotonically increasing, does not reverse the order of the bounds of integration.

$s=-r^2$ gives $ds=-2rdr$ so $dr =-frac 1 2r ds$. Also, as $r$ increases from $0$ to $infty$, $s$ decreases from $0$ to $-infty$.

Do you really need substitution. We already know the antiderivative of $re^-r^2$ and it is $-e^-r^2over 2$
