Let f(x) be continuously differentiable on [a,b]. Then the arc length L of f(x) over [a,b] is given by:



Similarly, if x = g(y) with g continuously differentiable on [c,d], then the arc length L of g(y) over [c,d] is given by:



If the function is described in polar coordinates by then the arc length is given by:



Many of these integrals can only be solved using numerical methods.
