ENGI 4430 Parametric Vectr Functins Page -05 Overview f Nrmal and Binrmal: Fr a curve in, there is a unique nrmal line at every pint where the unit tangent vectr is defined: There are nly tw chices fr the unit nrmal vectr. N is chsen t pint in the directin in which the curve is turning. This definitin fails wherever the unit tangent des nt exist. This definitin als fails at all pints f inflexin and wherever the curve is a straight line. Hwever, fr a curve in 3, there is a nrmal plane at each pint, nt a nrmal line. Frm the infinite number f different directins fr a nrmal vectr, we need t identify a unique directin fr a principal nrmal.
