Category:Smooth Curves

This category contains results about Smooth Curves.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Smooth Curves.

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold.

Let $I$ be a open real interval, considered as a smooth manifold of dimension $1$.

This article, or a section of it, needs explaining. In particular: We have various pages defining "manifolds" of various types (differentiable, smooth, complex), but not one defining a basic "manifold". It can be assumed by inference that a manifold is "a second-countable locally Euclidean space of finite integral dimension" but this needs to be rigorously and unambiguously clarified by including that definition at the top level of the page Definition:Topological Manifold. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by explaining it. To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Explain}} from the code.

Then a smooth mapping $\gamma : I \to M$ is called a smooth curve.
