Talk:Curves in differential geometry

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page should contain a few examples to see how the definition of curves in terms of frenet-frames and Frenet-Serret formulas work. I will expand it in the next few days. MathMartin 13:27, 21 May 2004 (UTC)~[reply]

Merge

[edit]

Yes indeed this should be merged. --Salix alba (talk) 11:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge examples with a list? Why on earth? Charles Matthews 13:15, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This page is so incomplete thats its not worth saving. --Salix alba (talk) 14:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You mean it's a stub? See Wikipedia:Stub - the whole encyclopedia is founded on developing even very small stubs. Charles Matthews 17:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the merge tag, which has not generated enthusiasm. Gene Ward Smith 03:45, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely merge. I suggest merging into the article "curve". That is to say, these examples are good enough to warrant saving and using somewhere in that article. But they do not warrant an individual article (and if they did, such an article would have a different name anyway, something involving "examples" no doubt). Nor does the topic "curves in diff.geom" appear likely to attract further worthwhile content at this time. Merge now, and if this causes sections of the curve article to grow unwieldy in the future, we can always break sections back out later (but in the process, we will probably find a better way of dividing up the content than what is suggested by this present article).
