Curves, Parameterizations, and the Arclength Parameterization

WELCOME TO THE START OF VECTOR CALCULUS. Full playlist here: ►VECTOR CALCULUS (Calc IV)    • Calculus IV: Vector Calculus (Line In...  

In this video we give an overview of one of the foundational concepts: curves. We will contrast the idea of a curve and path, talk about different parameterizations, the tangent vector, arclength, arclength parameterizations and contrast when to use the arclength parameter versus a time parameter. A lot of these topics are covered in more depth back in my Calc III: Multivariable Calculus playlist, so check out that below as well.
