The issue im having is... $\frac{ds}{d\theta}=\sqrt{r^{2}+(\frac{dr}{d\theta})^{2}}$ ... integrating both sides just gives me $s=f(\theta)$ where in fact im looking to get the summation of ds to give L and then I can form a Riemann sum
@XanderHenderson good morning to you also :) $a\mathbb{C}b$ is pronounced a choose b $a\mathbb{P}b$.... here whats $\mathbb{P}$ $\mathbb{C}$ is the binomial coefficient.. but I don't know what P is
Im not sure what $f|A:A\rightarrow{}Y$ means exactly... I know this if a function $f$ that maps the domain $A:A$ to the codomain $Y$... however not sure what the colon $A:A$ represents here
