A smooth curve is a curve which is a smooth function, where the word "curve" is interpreted in the analytic
geometry context. In particular, a smooth curve is a continuous
map
from a one-dimensional space
to an
-dimensional
space which on its domain has continuous derivatives up to a desired order.
