This trick can also be used with the Gaussian integral to compute similar integrals of a Gaussian multiplied with a power of the integration variable [1], e.g. the integral of x*exp(-x^2).

Yeah, I used this example in classes I taught. Very awesome application of this technique.

Of course the indefinite integral of x*exp(-x^2) is elementary.

I think parent meant to say _even_ powers like x^(2n) exp(-x^2), which can be done by differentiating exp(-Bx^2) and evaluating at B = 1.
