A Gaussian never reaches zero. But I suppose your code will return a
zero for large x when y is less than the smallest number your computer
can handle. But that is a poor way to define the width of a Gaussian.
The slope in the tails of the Gaussian is near zero so a small change
in y will results in a large change in your width.
