Line Integrals of Scalar Functions (Introduction)

Calculus 3 tutorial video that explains line integrals of scalar functions and line integral visualization. We show you how to calculate a line integral over curves in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space. This video focuses particularly on line integrals of scalar functions. We work three examples in this video: one over a circular path, one over a two-piece curve that requires two integrals, and one on a helix in three dimensions. 0:00 What is a line integral? 4:08 How to calculate line integrals 5:17 Example 1 (2-dimensional) 12:35 Example 2 (2-dimensional) 21:02 Example 3 (3-dimensional) Houston Math Prep Calculus 3 Playlist:    • Calculus 3   Houston Math Prep YouTube:    / houstonmathprep
