The Unit Tangent Vector T(t) (maroon), principle normal N(t) and binomal B(t) of the vector function r(t) = (t, t^2, t^3)

source: (x)

mathematica:

The Frenet-Serret moving frame of a space curve. A neat theorem proves that the tangent vector T, the normal vector N, and the binormal vector B = T x Nand their derivatives are related by the skew-symmetric matrix

 

where κ is the curvature of the space curve and τ its torsion (both of which are position-dependent but continuous) [CJH].

我想说的是,这个gif帮助我联想时空图中的自转观者挺有帮助的。
