This article considers the curvature of framed space curves, their higher-order derivatives, variations, and co-rotational derivatives. We realize that parametrizing rotation tensor using the Gibbs vector is effective in deriving a closed-form formula that gives the general n-th order derivative of the curvature tensor as the summation of functions of the parametrizing quantity and its own derivatives. We use these results for formulating a linearized updating algorithm for curvature and its derivatives when the configuration of the curve acquires a small increment.
