Changing the order of integration
Problem 11.190 · hard
Evaluate \( \displaystyle \int\limits_{0}^{1}\int\limits_{\sqrt{y}}^{1} e^{x^{3}}\, dx\, dy \) by reversing the order of integration.
- The inner integral has no elementary antiderivative in this order. The region is 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, √y ≤ x ≤ 1; describe it the other way round.Reviewed
- The same region, integrated in the other order: Integral(exp(x**3), (y, 0, x**2), (x, 0, 1)). (The original order cannot be done by hand; the independent check below integrates it numerically.)Reviewed
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{1}\int\limits_{0}^{x^{2}} e^{x^{3}}\, dy\, dx = - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{e}{3} \]Now the inner integral is easy, and the outer one is a substitution.✓ Proved
Answer \( - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{e}{3} \approx 0.572761 \)

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
generator:structured/change_order, checked 2026-10-04 with SymPy 1.14.0.
