We have seen in Chap. 2 that the curvature of a smooth curve is the limit of sequences of the curvature of polygons inscribed in it, and tending to it with respect to the Hausdorff topology. We deal now with the problem of the approximation of the curvature of a smooth curve by the curvature of curves or polygons (not necessarily inscribed in it), close to it.
