"In mathematics, the concept of a curve tries to capture the intuitive idea of a geometrical one-dimensional and continuous object. Simple examples are the circle or the straight line." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve "A line, or straight line, can be described as an (infinitely) thin, (infinitely) long, perfectly straight curve (the term curve in mathematics includes "straight curves")." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_line -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
