OBJECTIVE:
In this section we will learn how
to integrate a function G(x,y) defined
over a curve C. That is,
1
Definition: Curves in the xy-plane
Consider the curve C in the xy-plane.
A curve C is in the xy- plane is defined
as a set of points . C
C is called a parametric curve
in the xy-plane if the ordered
paired points are defined as functions :
where
Or sometimes

Definition: Curves in the space
Consider the curve C in the xyz space. C is defined as a set of points .
C is called a parametric curve in the space if C consists of the ordered triples
are defined as functions :

Definition: Vector Valued Function
A vector valued function is a vector whose
components are functions of parameter t.
4
DEFINITION
A vector valued function in the xy-
plane or in can be defined as
In ,
So represents the position of the
point at any time t.
