Aug 11, 2020 · How would we motivate that when speaking of curvature of the intuitive idea of curvature (how much you need to turn) as the above equatoion? And, even after all this one …

Oct 3, 2017 · The radius of curvature is the radius of the osculating circle. Curvature is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature. Once you have a formula that describes curvature, you …

Sep 16, 2018 · @RockyRock considering curvature was defined like that (definition in my textbook), a problem arises because radius of curvature is the radius of an imaginary circle of …

May 26, 2023 · The Riemann curvature tensor doesn't contain any more information than all sectional curvatures. The only intrinsic curvature we really define is Gaussian curvature of a …

Nov 4, 2016 · I want to understand the basic conceptual idea about intrinsic and extrinsic curvature. If we consider a plane sheet of paper (whose intrinsic curvature is zero) rolled into a …

For the sake of completeness and accuracy: while for a curve you can uniquely define the curvature $\kappa \in \mathbb R$ for a surface you have an infinite number of curvatures for …

The Gaussian curvature is the ratio of the solid angle subtended by the normal projection of a small patch divided by the area of that patch. The fact that this ratio is based totally on the …

Jan 30, 2020 · The radius of curvature is the radius of the osculating circle, the radius of a circle having the same curvature as a given curve and a point. So the inverse relationship of a …

What are you taking as your definition of curvature? Typically it is defined as the magnitude of the derivative of the unit tangent vector with respect to arc length, right?
