2.12 The Error Function

  • We can improve our understanding of the solution.
  • Immediately after the definition, several important properties of the error function follow.
    • It is easy to show that erf is an odd function.

  • The name of the variable of integration in a definite integral is unimportant.
  • Go to polar coordinates.
  • By using the book.
  • The error function is used to solve the heat equation.

  • The easiest way to prove this is directly.
  • We will arrive at the same conclusion here.

  • We wanted to get this result.

  • Carry out the integration.
