    Graduate How to Calculate Arc Length of a Helical Path on a Torus?

    Can anybody help? Mathematical Physics. I'm seeking an analytical expression for the path length of a point that follows a helical path with the helix wound about an axis to form a torus. The arc path length of a helix is simple to compute, but when its formed into a torus there is a...
