Theory of Curves . Plane Curves . Regular points of plane curve. A plane curve r in a Cartesian coordinate system can be defined by equations in the following form Explicitly y f x . Implicitly F x y 0. Parametrically x x t y y t . In vector form r r t where r t x t i y t j . In a polar coordinate system the curve is usually given by the equation r r where the relationship between Cartesian and polar coordinates is given by formulas x r cos y and y r sin . Remark. The explicit equation can be obtained from the parametric equations if the abscissa is taken for the parameter x t y f t . A point M x t y t is said to be regular if the functions x t and y t have continuous first derivatives not simultaneously equal to zero in a sufficiently small neighborhood of this point. For implicitly defined functions a point M x y is said to be regular if grad F VF 0 at this point. If a curve is given parametrically then the positive sense is defined on this curve . the direction in which the point M x t y t of the curve moves as the parameter t increases. If the curve is given explicitly by then the positive sense corresponds to the direction in which the abscissa increases . moves from left to right . In a polar coordinate system the positive sense corresponds to the direction in which the angle p increases . the positive sense is counterclockwise . If s is the curve length from some constant point M0 to M then the infinitesimal length increment of the arc M0 M is approximately expressed by the formula for the arc length 367 368 Differential Geometry differential ds . the following formulas hold As ds y 1 yx 2 dx As ds y xt 2 y t 2 di As ds y r2 r v 2 dp if the curve is given explicitly if the curve is given parametrically for a curve in the polar coordinate system. Example 1. The arc length differential of the curve y cos x has the form ds V1 sin x dx. Example 2. For the
