In many applications of differential geometry such as computer graphics and computer vision one needs to use some discretization of the notions of curvature and torsion of plane or space curves. The present paper is a nice and clear contribution in this direction, where the authors are motivated by Möbius geometry to study the notion of curvatue and torsion of discrete curves in plane or space. A discrete curve is a polygonal curve in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) or \(\mathbb{R}^3\) which is given by its vertices via a map \(\gamma: \mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{R}^3\). The authors provide some properties of such curves and also give some experimental results.
