Lecture 9: Parametric Equations
Objectives Be able to use parametric equations to describe the motion of a point Be able to find the arclength of a curve described by parametric equations as well as the area underneath such a curve. Know how to find the curvature of curves in 2D and 3D. Corresponding Sections in Simmons 17.1,17.2,17.5
