Constructive properties of uniform convexity, strict convexity, near convexity, and metric convexity in real normed linear spaces are considered. Examples show that certain classical theorems, such as the existence of points of osculation, are constructively invalid. The methods used are in accord with principles introduced by Errett Bishop
