The first definition was made by Meijer using a series; nowadays the accepted and more general definition is via a path integral in the complex plane, introduced in its full generality by Arthur Erdélyi in 1953.
The line integral is constructed analogously to the Riemann integral and it exists if the curve is rectifiable (has finite length) and the vector field is continuous.
