nothing really

amistre64 · Answer

a double integral is worked out in the same fashion

amistre64 · Answer

its like saying; whats the difference between antidifferentation and integrating ...

Really? Im told in this problem to evaluate a double integral as a iterated integral over a Type 1 region. 
I thought they were equivalent and this has made me doubt myself!

amistre64 · Answer

the double is modified into an interated if i recall correctly based on how the x and y and such move across the region

amistre64 · Answer

but other than that, the double is just a notation for the interated

$$\int\int_D\ f(s)\ ds=\int_{x_0}^{x}\int_{y_0}^{y}f(s)\ dy\ dx$$
