define a curve C joining points P, and P,, where u=u, and u=u, respectively.
We assume that C 1s composed of a finite number of curves for each of which r(u) has’a contin-
uous derivative. Let A(x,y,2) = A,i+4o4 + Ask be a vector function of position defined and con.
tinuous slong C. Then the integral of the tangential component of A along C from P, to P;, written as
t Ade = fre - fae + do dy + dgdz
, C lo
is an example of a line integral. If A is the force F on a particle moving along C, this line integral
represents the work done by the force. If C is a closed curve (which we shall suppose 1s a simple
closed curve, i.e, 2 curve which does not intersect itself anywhere) the integral around C is often
denoted by
fire = f Aydz + Agdy + Agdz
In aerodynamics and fluid mechanics this integral 1s called the circulation of A about C, where A
represents the velocity of a fluid.
In general, any integral which is to be evaluated along a curve is called a line integral. Such
integrals can be defined in terms of limits of sums as are the integrals of elementary calculus,
For methods of evaluation of line integrals, see the Solved Problems.

Surface this is taken as the outer side). A unit normal n to any point of the positive side of S is
called a positive of outward drawn unit notmal.

‘The limit of this sum, when N~© in such a
manner that the largest of the quantities Al,
will approach zero, if it exists, is denoted by
aii dV. It can be shown that this limit
Y
is independent of the method of subdivision if
is continuous throughout V.
In forming the sum (1) over all possible cubes in the region, it 1s advisable to proceed in an order
ly fashion. One possibility is to add first all terms in (1) corresponding to volume elements contained
in a column such as PQ in the above figure. This amounts to keeping x, and y, fixed and adding over
all z's. Next, keep x, fixed but sum over all y,'s. This amounts to adding all columns such as PQ
contained in a slab RS, and consequently amounts to summing over all cubes contained in such a slab.
Finally, vary x,. This amounts to addition of all slabs such as RS.
In the process outlined the summation is taken first over z,'s then over y,'s and finally over x's.
However, the summation can clearly be taken in any other order.
(®) ‘The ideas involved in the method of summation outlined in (a) can be used in evaluating the integral.
Keeping = and y constant, integrate from z=0 (base of column PQ) to z = 8—4x—2y (top of column
PQ). Next keep x constant and integrate with respect toy. This amounts to addition of columns having
bases in the xy plane (z= 0) located anywhere from R (where y= 0) to S (where 4x+2y=8 or y=4—2x),
and the integration is from y=0 to y=4—2r. Finally, we add all slabs parallel to the yz plane, which
amounts to integration from == 0 to x= 2. The integration can be written
