You have written a double integral expression, which I assume is meant to evaluate the following:

\[
\int_0^2 \int_0^{x^2} e^y \, dx \, dy
\]

Here's how we would approach solving this:

### Step 1: Understand the limits and function
The given integral is a **double integral**, which means we will integrate the function \( e^y \) over a two-dimensional region. The limits of integration are:
- For \( y \), it goes from 0 to \( x^2 \).
- For \( x \), it goes from 0 to 2.

Thus, the order of integration is: first, with respect to \( x \), and then with respect to \( y \).

### Step 2: Solve the inner integral (with respect to \( x \))
We first integrate with respect to \( x \). The inner integral is:

\[
\int_0^2 \left( \int_0^{x^2} e^y \, dy \right) dx
\]

Since the inner integral is with respect to \( y \), and the function \( e^y \) is independent of \( x \), we can integrate \( e^y \):

\[
\int_0^{x^2} e^y \, dy = \left[ e^y \right]_0^{x^2} = e^{x^2} - e^0 = e^{x^2} - 1
\]

### Step 3: Solve the outer integral (with respect to \( x \))
Now we substitute this result back into the outer integral:

\[
\int_0^2 \left( e^{x^2} - 1 \right) dx
\]

This is now a single integral in terms of \( x \). It involves \( e^{x^2} \), which does not have a simple antiderivative in terms of elementary functions. However, we can split the integral as follows:

\[
\int_0^2 \left( e^{x^2} - 1 \right) dx = \int_0^2 e^{x^2} dx - \int_0^2 1 \, dx
\]

### Step 4: Solve each part separately
- The integral \( \int_0^2 1 \, dx \) is straightforward:
  \[
  \int_0^2 1 \, dx = 2
  \]

- The integral \( \int_0^2 e^{x^2} dx \) is a known function that is related to the **error function** (\( \text{erf}(x) \)):

\[
\int_0^2 e^{x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2} \text{erfi}(2)
\]

Here, \( \text{erfi}(x) \) is the imaginary error function, but you would typically approximate it numerically.

### Final Answer:
So, the double integral evaluates to:

\[
\int_0^2 \int_0^{x^2} e^y \, dy \, dx = \left( \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2} \text{erfi}(2) - 2 \right)
\]

Would you like me to continue with numerical approximation or go into further details?

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
1. How does changing the limits of integration affect the result of a double integral?
2. What is the error function, and how is it related to integrals involving exponentials?
3. What is the difference between \( \text{erf}(x) \) and \( \text{erfi}(x) \)?
4. Can we solve integrals involving functions like \( e^{x^2} \) exactly, or are they usually approximated?
5. How does changing the order of integration impact the result of a double integral?

**Tip**: When dealing with complex integrals, especially those involving functions like \( e^{x^2} \), knowing about special functions (like the error function) can be very helpful.
