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 $-infty$.

It should be noted that the minus sign from the substitution is then used to reverse the order of the limits.

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

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