Title:	Line Integral of a Vector.
Authors:	Balabanian, Norman, Syracuse Univ., NY. Dept. of Electrical Engineering.
Peer Reviewed:	N
Page Count:	75
Publication Date:	1965
Sponsoring Agency:	Office of Education (DHEW), Washington, DC. Bureau of Research.
Descriptors:	College Mathematics, Engineering, Instructional Materials, Mathematics, Physics, Programed Instruction, Programed Instructional Materials, Textbooks
Abstract:	This programed booklet is designed for the engineering student who understands and can use vector and unit vector notation, components of a vector, parallel law of vector addition, and the dot product of two vectors. Content begins with work done by a force in moving a body a certain distance along some path. For each of the examples and problem solving discussions there is given a path whose equation in terms of the coordinates is known and a mathematical expression for the direction and magnitude of the applied force. Through such a series of examples and problem solving discussions, the student is led to the idea of the line integral of a vector. (RP)
