The area enclosed by a parametric curve with endpoints is given by the line integrals:

Also interesting are the loci, functions, parametric curves, implicit plots.

Thus the line is a parametric curve with the parameter which is the (number of the) interval for the quantile.

A parametric curve is what elliptic curve cryptography uses.

In general, a parametric curve is a function of one independent parameter (usually denoted t).

If γ is a parametric curve which can be locally described as a power series, we call the curve analytic or of class .

So we have to define a suitable equivalence relation on the set of all parametric curves.

Each fiber can be viewed as a parametric curve where is the parameter and is time.

A Bézier curve is a parametric curve frequently used in computer graphics and related fields.

Some terminology is associated with these parametric curves.
