    We study a method for estimating the topological entropy of a smooth dynamical system. Our method is based on estimating the logarithmic growth rates of suitably chosen curves in the system. We present two algorithms for this purpose and we analyze each according to its strengths and pitfalls. We also contrast these with a method based on the definition of topological entropy, using \((n, \epsilon)\)-spanning sets.
