The Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals states that if a vector field is conservative, then the line integral of that field along any smooth path between two points depends only on the values of a potential function at those points. This theorem connects the concepts of conservative vector fields, path independence, and how to evaluate line integrals without needing to parametrize the path explicitly.
congrats on reading the definition of Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals. now let's actually learn it.
