Complex Mapping of Parametric Curve

Image of the parametric curve [math]x(t) + iy(t)[/math] under the complex mapping [math]u(x,y) + i v(x,y)[/math]. Drag the time slider and input the appropriate functions. The blue curve is the parametric and the red curve is the image under the complex mapping. The arrow shows there the leading point of the parametric curve is mapping to.

Addition of vectors

Addition of two vectors.
Drag the vectors around. You can change the magnitude and direction of the vectors too. To show the parallelogram rule, place the vectors at the origin.

Path integral for planar curves

This worksheet shows a geometrical representation of the path integral for planar curves. [br]If [math]c:[a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb R^2[/math] is of class [math]C^1[/math] and the composite function [math]t\rightarrow f(x(t),y(t))[/math] is continuous, then we define[br][math]\quad \quad\quad\int_c fds=\int_a^bf(x(t),y(t))||c'(t)||dt[/math][br]When [math]f(x,y)\geq0[/math], this integral has a geometric interpretation as the [b]area of a fence[/b].
Path integral for planar curves
Move the points in the plane to change the shape of the curve. You can change the surface as well.
