Arc length

Summary

The arc length of a curve is its length, measured along the curve. It is the supremum of the lengths of inscribed polygonal paths, and an integral of the speed for smooth curves. The node arc length gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
