We call �<br />
C f (x, y) ds the line integral with respect to arclength.<br />
Suppose that C is given by the parametric equations<br />
Then<br />
so that<br />
x = x(t), y = y(t), t ∈ [a, b].<br />
dx<br />
dt = x ′ (t) and<br />
dy<br />
dt = y ′ (t),<br />
dx = x ′ (t) dt and dy = y ′ (t) dt.
