Section 1 Goals

After completing your work on this worksheet, you should be able to:

  • Interpret the line integral of a real-valued function geometrically as area.
  • Set up and evaluate a line integral of a real-valued function.
  • Recognize that a line integral of a real-valued function is independent of the chosen parameterization of the curve.
  • Recognize that a line integral of a real-valued function is independent of the orientation of a curve.
  • Recognize that a line integral of a real-valued function is dependent on path.
