Can anyone recommend an online reference or book on line integrals and parameterization that's clear and concise?

I've taken a course in multivariable calculus, but these were difficult concepts for me to grasp and I never fully understood them at the time.

It looks like they're going to come up again in Physics next semester, so I'd really like to nail them over the Summer.

I don't know of an online reference, but the Schaum's outline entitled Vector Analysis is good.
 
Thanks Tom.

I checked it out on Amazon. It has very good reviews and is inexpensive, so I picked up a copy.

I will probably be posting some questions soon after receiving it.

Should I post them here or Homework Help?

If it's direct questions about examples in the book go ahead and post it in HWH, otherwise discussion about the subject can be held here.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
