[edit] Introduction

Because most parametric equations are given in explicit form, they can be integrated like many other equations. Integration has a variety of applications with respect to parametric equations, especially in kinematics and vector calculus.

 x = \int{x'(t)}\, dt

 y = \int{y'(t)}\, dt
