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.
