2. Examples of Curve Computations

Here are the complete computations for the 3 curves we have looked at throughout this chapter: the circle, the helix and the twisted cubic, plus the computations for a new curve, the cubic spiral helix. Then in the homework, you will be asked to compute various quantities for various other curves. In the alternate homework, you will be asked to compute everything for one of a few specific curves.
