Main Idea Main idea: the line integral around a positively oriented, simple closed curve is related to a double integral over the region enclosed by the curve. Definition A curve in the plane = {(x, y) x = f (t), y = g(t), a t b} is closed if its two endpoints are the same, i.e. if (f (a), g(a)) = (f (b), g(b)). A closed curve is simple if it does not intersect itself, except at the endpoints.
