Curvature
Curvature is the rate of change of the direction of a curve at a

point, P (i.e., how fast the curve is turning at point P).
Direction is based on , the angle between the xaxis and the
tangent to the curve at P. The rate of change is taken with
respect to , the length of an arbitrary arc on the curve near
point P. We use the Greek letter kappa, , for the measure of
curvature.
This is illustrated for the function ln 4 3 at right.

This results in the following equations for :

Polar Form: Let be a function in polar form. Then, the polar form of curvature is

where, ,

The Osculating Circle of a curve at Point P is the circle which is:

Tangent to the curve at point P.
Lies on the concave side of the curve at point P.
Has the same curvature as the curve at point P.
The Radius of Curvature of a curve at Point P is the

radius of the osculating circle at point P.

The Center of Curvature of a curve at Point P is the

center of the osculating circle at Point P.
