    The author introduces the centroaffine invariants for curves in the centroaffine 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional spaces. Like in the Euclidean case such curves are determined by 1 curvature function in the 2-dimensional case, and 2 curvature functions in the 3-dimensional case. As applications, amongst others, the curves with constant curvature functions, or the curves for which the affine arc length corresponds to the Euclidean arc length are classified.
