Talk:Calculus/Integration/Contents

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I'm thinking that maybe line integrals and integrals that concern the summing of a function in an area or volume ( ie, distinct from integrals that calculate an area or volume ) should be included under applications?

to illustrate, say a metal plate ( of arbitrary length and width, with its lower left corner on 0,0 ) is electrostatically charged with a distribution governed by P= x^2 + Y^2 . An area integral ( of the sort I am proposing be included ) could be used to sum the total charge present on the plate.

If agreement is reached I would be happy to write a brief explanation for the text.
