This is a clothoid or Euler spiral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_spiral). It is said about it that its curvature depends linearly on its length. How to show it in SMath?

Hi Valery. SMath doesn't know how to handle the derivative of an integral, neither numerically nor symbolically. As workaround, you can try this approach:

Best regards.

The curvature exists in the ± 1 range. But not as you attempted.
Let my tech doctor Win 10, will attach later.

For the attached sheet to work, the Statistical Tools plugin must be deactivated, because it's erf() shadows the Maxima function erf().

The curvature-arclength plot is easily done, yet the xy plot of the curve itself fails because Maxima isn't able to evaluate the functions x(t) and y(t).

Yet, it is not proof of linearity, just an illustration.
