1If \({\it dx}{/}du\) is positive and then negative, the function \(x=x(u)\) rises and then falls, and thus is not one-to-one; a similar statement applies if \({\it dx}{/}{\,d} u\) is negative and then positive.

2The method that follows is admittedly not straightforward but requires a trick. The trick is to start with the desired formula and square both sides. You will then observe that the left-hand side resembles an iterated integral. There are several other ways to evaluate the Gaussian integral, but all of them require some nonobvious method. For the use of complex variables to evaluate it, see, for example, J. Marsden and M. Hoffman, Basic Complex Analysis, 3rd ed., W. H. Freeman, New York, 1998.
