for a < t < b. The entire Section 1.3 of the notes can be immediately reformulated for curves in the space: Definition 1.3.2 (of the length of a curve over a closed interval), Definition 1.3.3 and Theorem 1.3.4 (concerning reparametrization of curves), Definition 1.3.4 (of a regular curve), Theorem 1.3.6 and Proposition 1.3.7 (concerning parametrization by arc length). As about Section 1.4 (that is, the curvature and the fundamental theorem of curves), things are different. First of all, a purely formal observation is that Definition 1.4.1. (of the curvature) will not be satisfactory: it is “obvious” that only x(t) and y(t) (and their derivatives) are not enough to determine the curvature, one needs to bring also z(t) into this game. But nothing prevents us from requesting Theorem 1.4.3., the first equation:
