    In this video we give an overview of one of the foundational concepts: curves. We will contrast the idea of a curve and path, talk about different parameterizations, the tangent vector, arclength, arclength parameterizations and contrast when to use the arclength parameter versus a time parameter. A lot of these topics are covered in more depth back in my Calc III: Multivariable Calculus playlist, so check out that below as well.

    "... what parametrization does, that it tells us where all the points on the circle at some specific time t". sometimes such sentences are the thing needed to fill the gaps. And such sentences comes from someone who really understands the topic. Thank you!

Similarly, if the derivative of r represents the velocity, here in the curve(circle) velocity is along the tangent to the curve. but displacement and velocity must be in same direction. Isn't it?

    OK.Hm, then what is the unit tangent vector (of any curve)? On the definition It (this unit for r (t), r'(t)=v) =: (vector)v (t)/v(t)/(magnitude and also (this unit for r(s);s-arclength= dr(s)(vector)/ds =((dx(s)/ds;dy(s)/ds;dz(s)/ds))and this =1 (on: ds=v(s)ds,then v(s)=ds/ds=1); /v(s)/=/v(t)/(the magnitude)-is it ok? I want t be sure! (I see a huge problem with the use of it or rather ignoring in the application to 4-d spacetime interval: the unit of (spacetime interval), or the unit of time parameter, esp. the unit of proper time- a huge mess in textbooks since....A.Einstein and P.Langevin's,AD 1911 lecture hoax!
