Reading: 7.1, 7.2
Notes: For 6.3 #36, you should use the result of #35 to make your job easier, writing the vector G as a sum of a conservative vector field and a nonconservative one. The result of #35 allows you to handle the conservative term, so you are left to handle only an easier integral involving a nonconservative vector field.
