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.
