Variable change in definite integration

I am having trouble understanding how the author of the textbook "Physics for scientists and engineers" (Randall D Knight), is performing the variable change in the definite integral of the picture that I have taken a screen clipping of. Can someone please help me figure this out?

Variable r is being replaced by variable u where

u = z^{2} + r^{2}.

Hence

\frac{du}{dr} = 2r

since z is a constant.

Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
