The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the indefinite integral of 1 over the square root of 1 minus x squared using trigonometric substitution. It begins by discussing why u substitution is ineffective and introduces trig substitution as a method to simplify the integral. The tutorial explains the substitution of x with sine of theta and the importance of domain constraints. It further defines theta in terms of arcsin and discusses the implications on the unit circle. The integral is simplified using trigonometric identities, leading to the final evaluation. The tutorial concludes by showing that the antiderivative is arcsin of x plus a constant.
