This double integral is over the unit circle, from the
lower unit semicircle y=-sqrt%281-x%5E2%29 to the upper unit 
semicircle y=sqrt%281-x%5E2%29, so we convert, using x%5E2%2By%5E2=r%5E2, 
and we get:

int%28%22%22%5E%22%22%2C%22%22%2C0%2C2pi%29int%28ln%28r%5E2%2B1%29%2Ar%5E%22%22%2Cdr%2A%22d@%22%2C0%2C1%29%2C%22%22%2C0%2C2pi%29%29

The radius r goes from the origin (the pole) where r is 0
out to the circumference of the unit circle, where r is 1.  
Then the angle q goes around from 0 to 2p . 


Use this taken from a table of integral, to save you
from having to integrate it by parts:

int%28ln%28u%29%2Cdu%29=u%2Aln%28u%29-u%2BC

to complete the evaluation.  If you have trouble, tell
