The document defines two types of nonrectangular domains for double integrals: Type 1 bounded by functions y=f(x) and y=g(x); Type 2 bounded by functions x=f(y) and x=g(y). It gives the formulas for calculating the double integral of a function z(x,y) over these domains, with the order of integration based on the domain description. An example calculates the volume over a Type 1 domain bounded by y=x and y=2x-x^2, with z=xy.
