i encountered them (line integrals) last year in vector calculus, and this year i've got them in complex analysis. but does anyone actually know what they are? it's been bugging me for a while. like, how would you visualise one?
my lecturer informed me that they are "abstract tools used to assist with real integrals", or something along those lines, but that didn't help overly much. but it did a bit...
anyone got any better ways of explaining them?
please?
you're probably getting confused with the 'line' part? but the thing is, it's a method of doing something, not some kind of a line that you could visualize.
if you drove a car over some mountains, I think you maybe could use a line integral to calculate the amount of fuel needed to drive along a specific route.
Originally posted by hopscotchYou mention doughnuts, they are actually quite helpful in explaining the rec system, because they roll just like the 30 day period. Intergals have a period, too, but it's shorter than 30 days and it's not rolling, so it can't be used to explain the rec system.
Hello fellow student of life. I donut understand the rec system rollover. Can you please explain it with the wikipedia line intergals?
Originally posted by NordlysWe could integrate from 1 to 30, but since there is only one dimension, that just wouldn't get us anywhere.

Who is up for this very important job?

Originally posted by mlpriorI don't think Health+Safety officers (mightly souls) will be agreeable to the unconfined use of radioisotopes..unless all the recs activities are limited within a restricted area 😕
