==Name== Integral curves are known by various other names, depending on the nature and interpretation of the differential equation or vector field. In [[physics]], integral curves for an [[electric field]] or [[magnetic field]] are known as ''[[field line]]s'', and integral curves for the [[velocity field]] of a [[fluid]] are known as [[Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines|''streamlines'']]. In [[dynamical systems theory|dynamical systems]], the integral curves for a differential equation that governs a [[dynamical system|system]] are referred to as [[trajectory|''trajectories'']] or [[orbit (dynamics)|''orbits'']].
