Curvature

$\kappa$

Let $C$ be a curve defined by a real function which is twice differentiable.


The curvature of $C$ is the rate of change of turning angle with respect to the arc length of $C$.


The curvature of $C$ is often denoted $\kappa$ (Greek kappa).


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\kappa\) is \kappa .
