Best Answer

Center of curvature = r(t) + (1/k)(unit inward Normal)

k = curvature

Unit inward normal = vector perpendicular to unit tangent

r(t) = position vector

Which is harder differential calculus or integral calculus?

Im still taking Integral Calculus now, but for me, if you dont know Differential Calculus you will not know Integral Calculus, because Integral Calculus need Differential. So, as an answer to that question, ITS FAIR


Difference between integral and differential calculus?

Differential calculus is concerned with finding the slope of a curve at different points. Integral calculus is concerned with finding the area under a curve.


What is another term for Calculus?

Analysis is a broader term for Calculus and the theorems behind it. It is studied both with real and complex numbers as real and complex analysis. Usually calculus just deals with the basic problems of differential calculus and integral calculus.


What course to take before advanced calculus?

You must have a strong basis in Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry and Trigonometry. Usually high schools offer a pre-Calculus course which is somewhat of a conglomeration of the aforementioned courses. Then you would move into differential calculus, integral calculus, vector (multi-variable) calculus, and finally differential equations, which is considered to be at the top of the hierarchy of the calculus courses. So take Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry and Trigonometry to get your strong foundation before begining the calculus sequence.


How many calculus courses are there?

High SchoolCalculus AB - Calculus 1Calculus BC - Calculus 1 + part of Calculus 2College:Calculus 1: Single variable calculusCalculus 2: Multi-variable CalculusCalculus 3: Vector CalculusCalculus 4: Differential Equation

Which is harder calculus 1 or differential and integral calculus?

Just about all of calculus is based on differential and integral calculus, including Calculus 1! However, Calculus 1 is more likely to cover differential calculus, with integral calculus soon after. So there really isn't a right answer for this question.

What is differential statistics?

Differential statistics are statistics that use calculus. Normally statistics would use algebra but differential statistics uses calculus instead of algebra.

What is the difference between Radius of curvature and centre of curvature?

The radius of curvature is the distance from the center of a curved surface or lens to a point on the surface, while the center of curvature is the point at the center of the sphere of which the curved surface is a part. In other words, the radius of curvature is the length of the line segment from the center to the surface, while the center of curvature is the actual point.

What is the center of curvature of a mirror?

A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.
