Definition Suppose is a smooth manifold, and is a smooth vector field on . Then an integral curve of through a point is a curve , such that
Here is some open interval of , and is the tangent vector in represented by the curve.
Suppose are local coordinates for , are functions representing in these local coordinates, and . Then the condition on is
