Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to provide students the basic concepts of the theory of curve definition and curves, and further expansions to provide information on space curves. A characteristic feature of the curves, tangent space, vector space, the transformation of derivatives, directional derivative, and the roof of Serret-Frenet curvatures, osculator, rektifiyan and normal planes, osculator (circle, sphere) and get the understanding of geometric properties of the curve by examining some special curves. Mentioning the differential properties of geometric shapes in everyday life, and to develop students' analytical thinking. Helix, involute-evolute, Bertrand pair, Monge curves, special curves, such as spherical curves is to establish relations with the students about why-why. Making practical applications as described in the discussion of topics to teach problem-solving ability.
