Path-Independent Integrals: Vector Fields with Vanishing Curl

Try the path dependence with a conservative (curl free, or exact) Vector Function:

Start with a scalar potential

"index_36.gif"

"index_37.gif"

Create another vector function that should have a zero curl

"index_38.gif"

"index_39.gif"

"index_40.gif"

"index_41.gif"

"index_42.gif"

The integral depends doesn't on the choice of P(t)

"index_43.gif"

"index_44.gif"

"index_45.gif"

"index_46.gif"
