Understanding Double Integrals

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate a given double integral by first examining the region of integration, which is a square in the XY plane. The integrand function is visualized in 3D space, showing the surface above the region. The tutorial then walks through the process of evaluating the double integral, first with respect to Y and then X, to find the volume below the surface. The final result is calculated, providing a clear understanding of the double integral's application in finding volumes.
