Curvature[ <Point>, <Function> ]
Calculates the curvature of the function in the given point.
Example: Curvature[(0 ,0), x^2] yields 2.
Curvature[ <Point>, <Curve> ]
Calculates the curvature of the curve in the given point.
Example: Curvature[(0, 0), Curve[cos(t), sin(2t), t, 0, π]] yields 0.


Curvature[ <Point>, <Object> ]
Calculates the curvature of the object (function, curve, conic) in the given point.
  • Curvature[ <Point>, <Function> ]: Calculates the curvature of the function in the given point.
Example: Curvature[(0 ,0), x^2] yields 2.
  • Curvature[ <Point>, <Curve> ]: Calculates the curvature of the curve in the given point.
Example: Curvature[(0, 0), Curve[cos(t), sin(2t), t, 0, π]] yields 0.
  • Curvature[ <Point>, <Conic> ]: Calculates the curvature of the conic in the given point.
Example: Curvature[(0 ,0), Conic[{1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3}]] yields 0.15.
