SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of the space region inside a sphere defined by the equation \(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1\) and outside a cone described by \(z^2 = x^2 + y^2\). The solution involves plotting the graph to visualize the intersection points of the cone and sphere in the plane \(y = 0\). The user is guided to find the intersection points and subsequently determine the limits for the angles \(\phi\) using spherical coordinates. The triple integral formula \(\int \int \int \rho^2 \sin \phi d\rho d\phi d\theta\) is recommended for calculating the volume.
