Calculus IV: Vector Calculus (Line Integrals, Surface Integrals, Vector Fields, Greens' Thm, Divergence Thm, Stokes Thm, etc) **Full Course** - What is a LINE INTEGRAL? // Big Idea, Derivation & Formula

My Vector Calculus playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfW0GMqeUE1bLKaYor6kbHa A line integral - sometimes called a path integral - is an accumulation of something along a curve (again sometimes called a path). In this first video we will really focus on a curve living in 2D, with a height above that curve, and answer the question of what is the surface area that results? This will be four first major application of line integrals. The plan for this video is to introduce the big idea of line integrals, come up with a sensible definition using Reimann integration and breaking this problem into a lot of little rectangles, and then finally deriving a formula that let's us compute this easily. ♡♡♡SUPPORT THE CHANNEL♡♡♡ ►Support on PATREON: https://patreon.com/DrTrefor ►MATH BOOKS I LOVE (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/treforbazett ►CURIOSITY BOX: https://www.CuriosityBox.com/DrTrefor use CODE drtrefor for 25% off awesome STEM merch boxes 0:00 Intuitive Idea 1:39 Geometric Picture 5:12 Motivating the Definition 9:30 Deriving the Formula 11:50 Line Integral Formula COURSE PLAYLISTS: ►DISCRETE MATH: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxersk8fUxiUMSIx0DBqsKZS ►LINEAR ALGEBRA: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfUl0tcqPNTJsb7R6BqSLo6 ►CALCULUS I: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfT9RMcReZ4WcoVILP4k6-m ►CALCULUS II: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxc4ySKTIW19TLrT91Ik9M4n ►MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS (Calc III): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxc_CvEy7xBKRQr6I214QJcd ►VECTOR CALCULUS (Calc IV): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfW0GMqeUE1bLKaYor6kbHa ►DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxde-SlgmWlCmNHroIWtujBw ►LAPLACE TRANSFORM: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxcJXnLr08cyNaup4RDsbAl1 ►GAME THEORY: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxdzD8KpTHz6_gsw9pPxRFlX OTHER PLAYLISTS: ►Cool Math Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxelE_9RzwJ-cqfUtaFBpiho ►Learning Math Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPH2lqis3D0&list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxfSkRtlL5KPq6JqMNTh_MBw ►LaTeX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HvRvBjBAvg&list=PLHXZ9OQGMqxcWWkx2DMnQmj5os2X5ZR73&index=2&ab_channel=Dr.TreforBazett SOCIALS: ►X/Twitter: http://X.com/treforbazett ►TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@drtrefor ►Instagram (photography based): http://instagram.com/treforphotography
