Curvature

What do we mean by curvature?

The act of curving or the state of being curved. noun

The ratio of the change in the angle of a tangent that moves over a given arc to the length of the arc. noun

The limit of this ratio as the length of the arc approaches zero. noun

The reciprocal of the radius of a circle. noun

A curving or bending, especially an abnormal one. noun

In projective geometry, susceptibility of being cut in two different points by a straight, independently of whether the construct possessing this property has any point at which two straights inclined to one another and lying in this construct might meet. In metric geometry curvature is often used for the measure of curvature or the reciprocal of the radius of curvature. noun

Continuous bending; the essential character of a curve: applied primarily to lines, but also to surfaces. See phrases below. noun

Any curving or bending; a flexure. noun

Something which is curved or bent. noun

The act of curving, or the state of being bent or curved; a curving or bending, normal or abnormal, as of a line or surface from a rectilinear direction; a bend; a curve. noun

The amount of degree of bending of a mathematical curve, or the tendency at any point to depart from a tangent drawn to the curve at that point. noun

The deviation of a curve from a circular form. noun

See under Absolute. noun

One that expresses the amount of curvature of a curve. noun

See under Chord. noun

See Osculating circle of a curve, under Circle. noun

An abnormal curving of the spine, especially in a lateral direction. noun

The radius of the circle of curvature, or osculatory circle, at any point of a curve. noun

The shape of something curved. noun

The shape of something curved.

The extent to which a subspace is curved within a metric space.

The extent to which a Riemannian manifold is intrinsically curved.
