- In mathematics, a curve is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line (geometry) but which is not required to be straight. Often curves in two-dimensional (plane curves) or three-dimensional (space curves) Euclidean space are of interest.

- Curve was an English music group formed in 1990 chiefly around the collaboration of singer/songwriter Toni Halliday and bassist/guitarist/programmer Dean Garcia.

- A gentle bend, such as in a road; A simple figure containing no straight portions and no angles; a curved line; A continuous map from a one-dimensional space to a multidimensional space; A one-dimensional figure of non-zero length; the graph of a continuous map from a one-dimensional space; ...
- (CURVES) The minimum degree of turning movement that a bike may travel without turning into oncoming traffic.
- (Curves) An illustration of the different combinations of commodity quantities that would bring the whole community (here, the nation) the same level of satisfaction.
- (Curves) Exposure of film to light creates density on that film. With exposure on one axis and density on the other, a graph can be drawn representing the relationship between the two. The line this relationship creates is known as a characteristic curve. ...
- (Curves) Image Editing Software tools that allow users to change color, contrast etc in a non-linear fashion.
- (Curves) Smooth gradual bends in a line.
- (Curves) Track bent to form 90, 120, 135 and 150 degree angles. Radii for standard models are 10" (254mm) and 14" (356mm). Wide Body models are 22" (599mm). Special curves and radii are available.
- Pitch that moves down, across, or down and across, depending upon the rotation of the ball.
- Ball that breaks from right to left (for right-handers) in a huge arc (and vice-versa for lefties).
- The continuous image of the unit interval.
- 1-deminsional geometric primitive, representing the continuous image of a line (see OGC Abstract Specification (Topic 1) clause 6.3.16)
- A ball that has a big, slow break. Compare to hook.
- As in tone curve, or color correction curve. Beginning as a 45° angle line running up to the right, this line is adjusted into a curve shape by the user to effect color or tone correction. ...
