SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on approximating the double integral \(\int \int x^2 \, dA\) where the region R is bounded by the curves \(y = x^2\) and \(y = 1\). Participants emphasize the importance of understanding numerical integration techniques, particularly recommending "Simpson's Rule" as a viable method for solving this problem. The conversation highlights the necessity of foundational knowledge in numerical methods for effective problem-solving in calculus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double integrals in calculus
  • Familiarity with the curves \(y = x^2\) and \(y = 1\)
  • Knowledge of numerical integration techniques
  • Basic proficiency in using "Simpson's Rule"
NEXT STEPS

There are any number of ways to approximate a definite integral. What have you tried so far?

I can't start to do,I don't know how to start.
 
If you have never seen a numerical integration, why are you trying to do this problem?

Look up "Simpson's Rule".
