Michael,

The 1/10 in the 1st expression enables an exact evaluation,
while the 0.1 in the 2nd expression forces a numerical evaluation.
Avoid floating point numbers with  decimal points if you want an exact 
answer.

Cheers,
Dave Snead

Greetings!

I found that evaluation of this 2 integrals yield a bit different result. 
What could be the reason?

Integrate[E^(-1/10 ((1 + r2z)^2)), {r2z, -Infinity, Infinity}]

Integrate[E^(-0.1 ((1 + r2z)^2)), {r2z, -Infinity, Infinity}]
