The set of all displacements of M relative to F is called the configuration space of M. A smooth curve from one position to another in this configuration space is a continuous set of displacements, called the motion of M relative to F. The motion of a body consists of a continuous set of rotations and translations.

Most types of fluorescent lights produce an irregular or peaky spectral emittance curve, so that two materials under fluorescent light might not match, even though they are a metameric match to an incandescent " white " light source with a nearly flat or smooth emittance curve.

For example, a smooth curve α ( t ): 1 → M has tangent vector α ′( t < sub > 0 </ sub >) in the tangent space TM ( α ( t < sub > 0 </ sub >)) at any point t < sub > 0 </ sub > ∈ ( 0, 1 ), and each such vector has length ‖ α ′( t < sub > 0 </ sub >)‖, where ‖·‖ denotes the norm induced by the inner product on TM ( α ( t < sub > 0 </ sub >)).

Assuming the curve is smooth within a neighborhood, this generalizes to indefinite integrals:

The order of the group of an elliptic curve over Z < sub > p </ sub > varies ( quite randomly ) between p + 1 − 2 √ p and p + 1 + 2 √ p by Hasse's theorem, and is likely to be smooth for some elliptic curves.
