Why I can not to plot the Euler spiral curvature?

SMath native integration is a purely numerical procedure. Derivatives are symbolic ones. You would need to replace the symbolic derivatives by approximations.
Maxima can handle the derivatives. Funny enough, Maxima can't display the integral values x(t), y(t), neither can it plot them.
But you just asked for the curvature

Thanks, Martin.
No solution in pure SMath?

Here is a solution in pure (AKA Maxima-free) SMath.
The derivatives are replaced by difference quotients with a fixed perturbation h. Sooner or later this h is too big for a precise approximation, therefore, the value of the curvature deteriorates for large values of t.
Perhaps the fixed interval integrator also is to be blamed for the loss of precision.
Another M to patent?

Hi. These are another two options.

Cornu = Euler = Fresnel = Clothoid ... all same.

In the document ANY spiral ... set
c:= 0.30634896253
k:= -0.848622607416
r:= 0.25 ... immaterial, just to plot on same canvas.
You will have the Golden spiral considered Fibonacci.
Cheers ... Jean.
Hi. Using the numerical limit procedure from this post

Nice picture. This is a conic helicoid.

The plots are interactive (drag to rotate, Ctrl-Mousewheel to zoom). Yet, they are not really performant, takes approx. 3 seconds to update.
