So your definition of curvature is "change of curvature"?

Yes calculus is about the change.

C'mon "BURT", answer my question: Have you ever had a calculus course?
Possible answers are "yes" or "no".

Figure it out for yourself Lynn. Calculus cannot handle the unchanging
curve. Calculus has been called the science of change. It is that
simple.


Still won't answer, eh? OK, here's what I figure:

Possibility 1. You have had calculus and obviously it went right over
you head. So in this case you are pontificating about a subject you
don't understand.

Possibility 2. You haven't had a calculus course. So in this case also
you are pontificating about a subject you don't understand.

Conclusion: You don't know what you are talking about.

Go look at your sheepskins Lynn.

My sheepskins say B.S., M.S, and Ph.D. all in math. What do yours say?
