Frenet Frame
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This educational Demonstration, primarily for vector calculus students, shows the moving Frenet frame (or TNB frame, for tangent, normal, and binormal). The unit tangent vector, unit inward normal vector, and binormal vector, as well as the osculating, rectifying, and binormal planes slide along the curve.
