    ah yes, the gamma and error functions in their natural habitat.

      not that hard, using normal distribution is easy in this case

      if you have ax²+bx+c, then it can be rewritten as a(x+(-b/2a))²+smth else
      the smth else can be easily figured out but I'm too lazy to do it

    Why did the x in xᵏ decompose?
    Because it was put "to decay" (to the k).

    Oh man, I had no idea this was going to turn out like that. Fubini's theorem came in way more naturally than I'd anticipated. Well-done, Kamaal!
    I'd love to see more stuff like this. Historically, I've told my Calc II students that infinite series are a completely different beast from improper integrals, but have never been able to give great examples beyond the Basel problem. On the flip side, since I haven't worked with exact values of non-power series I am not familiar with many techniques beyond Parseval's theorem for computing actual values. Even that method I avoid using because it's still not my field.

    I'm sorry, but how is x^k(1-x^k) = (x(1-x))^k ?

    First, we convert the series into a function
    f(x)=Σn!/(2n+1)!x^(2n+1)
    Our goal is to find the function. We can use a differential equation to do this
    f'(x)=Σn!/(2n)!x^(2n)
    f''(x)=Σn!/(2n-1)x^(2n-1)
    After performing simple calculations, we arrive at the following differential equation
    2y''-xy'-y=0
    It is a linear ordinary differential equation with non-constant coefficients
    d/dx(2y'-xy)=0
    which can be easily solved
    2y'-xy=a
    I think everyone can solve this differential equation
    y=e^(x²/4)(a/2*√π*erf(x/2)+b)
    Well, we can easily determine the unknown coefficients
    a=2 and b=0
    y=f(x)=√π*e^(x²/4)(erf(x/2))
    Σn!/(2n+1)!x^(2n+1)=√π*e^(x²/4)(erf(x/2))
    as a result
    Σn!/(2n+1)!=√(π√e)*erf(1/2)

    At 3:16 did I miss something? Isn't the integrand supposed to be x^k*(1-x)^k ... not x^k*(1-x^k)?

    3:30 is that incorrect? Should be (x^k)*(1-x^k) = x^k - x^(2k); not (x-x^2)^k
