From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radius of curvature is a term characterizing the measure of how curved, or bent, a given curve or surface is. Different disciplines have different conventions concerning its definition and use. The following articles deal with various aspects:
- Radius of curvature (optics)
- Radius of curvature (applications), in geodesy and materials science
- The reciprocal of the curvature, in differential geometry
- Radius, for a sphere (lingo)
- The radius of the Osculating circle in differential geometry of curves
