1) Curves Flashcards
A mapping from an open interval to n dimensional space
If a tangent vector is a curve is constant
The curve is part of a straight line
The arc length of a curve
For φ reparameterization map
If a curve has Unit speed?
Proof of reason for unit speed?
It’s tangent vector is never zero
Proof that curve has unit seed reparam iff its tangent vector is never zero
A curve that never has a zero tangent vector is
Regular
Prove that a curve γ has a unit speed reparam iff it’s tangent vector is never zero
To the right of iff, that should be the derivative of the reparamterization
A parameterisation γ is smooth if
Each of the components is smooth <=>
Each derivative exists for for each component
