Order of things

I think it'd be better, from a pedagogic standpoint, to introduce the notion of work by starting with the simpler cases (currently discussed in the "Simpler Formulae" paragraph), then progessively generalize it, culminating in the full-blown integral form. Ideally, we should insert a few diagrams to illustrate the various formulae.

With all due consideration for readers who aren't familiar with multivariable calculus, I think it's still best to state a proper definition up front, or at least to provide a prominent link to one. I've modified the introduction a bit - do you think my change is satisfactory? --Smack (talk) 03:59, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
