Because the region of integration is an ellipse, Maple has automatically switched to polar coordinates. Without the list of coordinates included in the definition of the circle, Maple would use for and for , writing a deceptive iterated integral. The integrand of this surface integral is so complicated that any attempt to find a closed-form for the inner integral has been abandoned in favor of a numeric evaluation of the double integral.
A solution from first principles that uses the top-level Int command is given below.
