Chapter 4 Vector Integrals
Now that we have several useful ways to describe the rate of change of a vector function, we want to go in the opposite direction and determine how best to measure the accumulation of a vector function. Different notions of accumulation will be associated to the different derivatives we have access to, but each connected to one concept: the integral.
