Radius of Curvature interactive graph update

By Murray Bourne, 10 Apr 2012

Radius of Curvature is an interesting application of differentiation.

I recently updated the interactive graph on that page.

So go and explore what Radius of Curvature means and how it is applied, here:

Radius of Curvature

(Technical background: I originally created the graph using GeoGebra and imported that .GGB graph into JSXGraph, but this approach does not work in Internet Explorer. Did I ever mention I hate Internet Explorer?

The new version was created from scratch in JSXGraph and it works in all browsers.)

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
