This
4-page Microworld provides a way to visualize the construction of evolutes
of the graphs of functions, and of parametric curves. This construction how
these evolutes are the locus of the centers of the "osculating circles"
at points along the curve. These osculating circles, and the radii from their
centers are drawn interactively as the Reader supplies examples.
The
Microworld explores these themes in 3 interactive pages + a Table of Contents.
