Multivariable Calculus + Calc III Curvature Notes

LECTURE 27
curving of a curve is reflected by changing direction
of a tangent vector rate of changeof tan vector
Definition if C is a curve and rls is an arc length
parameterization the curvature K s
K S 11 T s II
ble vis is an arc length param 11 T s 11 11 r s 11
K S does not depend on the arc length param
measures rate of changeof T s wrt are length
how does Tls change when arc length
is constant is constant
but curvature is
much different
theorem ri t is a smoothparam of C then suppose
P to and P lies on C then
