SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving a definite double integral over a circle of radius 1 using Wolfram|Alpha. The integral in question is \(\iint_{C} (x^2 + y^2) \cdot \mathrm{d}x \cdot \mathrm{d}y\), where C is defined by the equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 1\). Participants suggest using the Mathematica notation for the integral, specifically referencing the command Integrate to compute the result.
