Introduction
In this lab we will revisit the parametrizations of curves. Many times
in mathematics, science, and engineering we need to have a
mathematical description of an object we are studying. It is often
helpful to parametrize the object under discussion. Parametrization
provides a way to discover the arclength of a curve, and facilitates
the modeling of the motion of objects.
Objectives of the lab
The objective of this lab is to gain experience in parametrizing
common curves in two and three dimensions.
You will need to invoke Maple for this lab.
