Curvature
Consider a car driving along a curvy road.
The tighter the curve, the more difficult
the driving is. The number curvature,
describes this tightness.
If the curvature is zero then the curve
looks like a line near this point.
If the curvature is a large number, then
the curve has a sharp bend.
For a curve C, the curvature is a measure
of how sharply the curve is bending.
Basic idea: we want to know how fast
the direction of the unit tangent vector is
changing as we move along the curve.
Parametrize the curve w.r.t.arc length
