Frenet formula — /fre nay /, Math. one of a set of formulas for finding the curvature and torsion of a plane or space curve in terms of vectors tangent or normal to the curve. [named after their discoverer, Jean (or Frédéric) Frenet (1816 1900), French… … Useful english dictionary
Frenet–Serret formulas — Binormal redirects here. For the category theoretic meaning of this word, see Normal morphism. In vector calculus, the Frenet–Serret formulas describe the kinematic properties of a particle which moves along a continuous, differentiable curve in… … Wikipedia
Differential geometry of curves — This article considers only curves in Euclidean space. Most of the notions presented here have analogues for curves in Riemannian and pseudo Riemannian manifolds. For a discussion of curves in an arbitrary topological space, see the main article… … Wikipedia

Curvature — In mathematics, curvature refers to any of a number of loosely related concepts in different areas of geometry. Intuitively, curvature is the amount by which a geometric object deviates from being flat, or straight in the case of a line, but this … Wikipedia
Torsion of a curve — In the elementary differential geometry of curves in three dimensions, the torsion of a curve measures how sharply it is twisting. Taken together,the curvature and the torsion of a space curve are analogous to the curvature of a plane curve. For… … Wikipedia

Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… … Wikipedia
