\section{The Biot-Savart Law}
The Biot-Savart Law relates shows how \textit{d}$\vec{B}$ depends on each differential piece of the current-carrying loop \textit{I}\textit{d}$\vec{l}$, the position vector $\vec{\textit{r}}$ of the point where we're finding the field, and the sine of the angle \theta between these two vectors with the equation:
\begin{equation}\label{eq1}
\textit{d}\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{\textit{I}\textit{d}\vec{l} \times\hat\textit{r}}
{\textit{r^2}} {1}
\end{equation}
The contributions to the magnetic field from the loop trace out a circle such that symmetrical horizontal components of the magnetic field cancel leaving a total field $\vec{B}$ pointing upward. Due to this cancellation we only want to integrate the upward components \textit{d}B_z
