I want to check my understanding of the line integral:
For a scalar line integral, what we have geometrically is
the area between a curve a given function, yes? Hence,
it can be thought of as a kind of thin wall, correct? And
where our function is f(x,y)=1, we have the length of the
curve we are integrating over.
For a vector line integral, we actually sum of the unit tangent
vectors along some curve, right?
Thanks in advance.
