Concept history

Concept created

The notion of curve is intuitive, but does not admit a unique, universal definition.
The first distinction is between a curve as a [[Map|map]] or as a [[Set|set]].

There is also a distinction to be made about the different points of view.
1. [[Parametrized curves|Parametrized curves]] (topological point of view)
2. Implicitely defined curves (geometrico-algebraist point of view)
