The curvature of a function will be a topic in a later section on differentiable vector calculus, but the concept of linearization can be used to give an earlier introduction.

The tangent line linearizes the function, it begin the best linear approximation to the graph of the function at the point. The slope of the tangent line is the limi of the slopes of different secant lines. Consdider now, the orthogonal concept, the *normal line* at a point. This is a line perpendicular to the tangent line that goes through the point on the curve.

At a point $(c,f(c))$ the slope of the normal line is $-1/f'(c)$.
