We

dx
Various definitions have been given for dx and dy, but however
defined, they are called differentials of x and y respectively.
The
symbol d before any quantity is read " differential of."

That is, dx is an infinitely small Ax, and

CURVATURE. RADIUS OF CURVATURE. EVOLUTE AND

159.

If a point

Curvature.

moves

in a straight line, the direc-

motion is the same at every point of its course, but if its


path is a curved line, there is a continual change of direction as it
moves along the curve. This change of direction is called curvature.
We have seen in the preceding chapter that the sign of the second
derivative shows which way the curve bends.
We shall now find
that the first and second derivatives give an exact measure of the
tion of

its

curvature.

The

direction at

any point being the same as that of the tangent


may be measured by comparing the

at that point, the curvature

linear motion of the point with the simultaneous angular motion of

the tangent.

160- Uniform Curvature.

The curvature

is

uniform when, as the

point moves over equal arcs, the tangent turns through equal angles.

The only curve

uniform curvature is the circle. Here the measthe ratio between the angle described by the tangent and the arc described by the point of contact.
In other words,
it is the angle described by the tangent while the point describes a unit
of

Thus, in the equation of the circle (x a) 2 + (y b) 2 = c 2 we may
