Serret-Frenet formulae

Mathematics
  • Three differential equations describing and governing how a curve in three dimensions evolves. For a curve r(s), parametrized by arc length s, the tangent vector t = dr/ds is a unit vector. Necessarily, dt/ds is perpendicular to t, so dt/ds = κ‎n, where n is a unit vector called the normal vector, and κ‎>0 is the curvature. The unit vector b = t×n is the binormal vector. Then {t,n,b} is an orthonormal basis for each s. The Serret-Frenet formulae state:

    dtds=κn,dnds=κt+τb,dbds=τn,

    where τ‎ denotes torsion. If the torsion of a curve is 0, then the curve is planar. κ‎(s) and τ‎(s) determine a curve up to isometry.
