Any property of a curve which depends solely upon its form may be styled intrinsic. Thus the circle of curvature at a point, the relation between s and ψ, the envelope of the normals, the envelope of straight lines making a constant angle with the curve, etc., are all intrinsic properties. It is proposed to investigate a few of these properties in this paper.
