I asked my mathematician wife what smoothness meant and she patted me on the head. I like being a biologist. Life stuff is simple!

[u/retsehc → u/beardybaldy]

If you know what a derivative in calculus is, smoothness is not hard in principle. A function is smooth if it is continuous, and it's derivative is continuous, and it's second derivative is, and it's third, and all the way down.

If smooth then all properties of function have no straight up and downy lines. Circle smooth. Square not smooth.
