Arc Length

Arc length can be thought of as the distance you would travel if you walked along the path of a curve. Arc length is used in a wide range of real applications. We might be interested in knowing how far a rocket travels if it is launched along a parabolic…

Line Integral

A line integral is one of the important topics that are discussed in the calculus syllabus. When we have a function that we want to integrate, and we evaluate the function alongside a curve, we define it as a line integral. Evaluation of a function along…
