In the above integrals, and respectively represent vector and scalar function of space coordinates. C,S and V represent path, surface and volume of integration. All these integrals are evaluated using extension of the usual one-dimensional integral as the limit of a sum, i.e., if a function f(x) is defined over arrange a to b of values of x, then the integral is given by

where the interval (a,b) is subdivided into n continuous interval of lengths .

Line Integral: Line integral is the dot product of a vector with a specified C; in other words it is the integral of the tangential component along the curve C.
