Curves

Osculating curve

In differential geometry, an osculating curve is a plane curve from a given family that has the highest possible order of contact with another curve.That is, if F is a family of smooth curves, C is a smooth curve (not in general belonging to F), and p is a point on C, then an osculating curve from F at p is a curve from F that passes through p and has as many of its derivatives at p equal to the derivatives of C as possible. The term derives from the Latinate root "osculate", to kiss, because the two curves contact one another in a more intimate way than simple tangency. (Wikipedia).

11_6_1 Contours and Tangents to Contours Part 1

A contour is simply the intersection of the curve of a function and a plane or hyperplane at a specific level. The gradient of the original function is a vector perpendicular to the tangent of the contour at a point on the contour.

Why there are no perfect maps (and why we eat pizza the way we do)

Have you ever wondered why you've never seen a perfect map? Or why bending the side of your pizza keeps the toppings from falling off? Surprisingly, these two everyday phenomena can be explained by one abstract mathematical theorem: Gauss' amazing Theorema Egregium. This video is a submi

Intuition for Curvature | Nathan Dalaklis

Today's video is a bit shorter than others. There is a lot going on, so I wanted to give a bit of intuition for a topic I find interesting; Curvature. In this video, we will go through a few formulas of curvature and compute curvature for a couple of examples, and I'll briefly mention diff

Geometric and algebraic aspects of space curves | Differential Geometry 20 | NJ Wildberger

A space curve has associated to it various interesting lines and planes at each point on it. The tangent vector determines a line, normal to that is the normal plane, while the span of adjacent normals (or equivalently the velocity and acceleration) is the osculating plane. In this lectur
