The Integral Curvature , or whole change of direction , of an arc of a plane curve ,
is the angle through which the tangent has turned as we pass from one extremity
to the other . The average curvature of any portion is its whole curvature divided ...

The average acceleration during any time is the whole velocity gained during that
time , divided by the time . In Newton's notation v is used to express the
acceleration in the direction of motion ; and , if v = s as in § 28 , we have a = v = j .
