ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gallery of curves

A gallery of curves is like a big room where you can see lots of different lines that go up, down, and all around. You know how you draw lines with your crayons or pencils? These are like those, except they're not just straight lines, they're curvy lines that make cool shapes.

Now, imagine you're in this big room filled with all these lines. You can walk around and look at each line and see how it's different from the others. Some might look like a wave or a loop, and others might be really wiggly.

People like to study these lines because they can tell us a lot about math and science. We can learn about things like how heat moves through materials, or how sound travels through the air, just by looking at these lines.

So, a gallery of curves is a place where we can explore all these different lines, and learn new things about how the world works.
