Demonstration for the TNB-Frame   COURSE_COMMUNITIES_JAVA_ID


Course Topic(s): Multivariable Calculus | Properties of Curves | Vector-Valued Functions and Velocity/Acceleration

Interactive java applet which allows the user to plot any two- or three-dimensional parametric curve together with associated tangent and normal vectors. In three dimensions the entire TNB frame is displayed. Users can move a point along the curve or have the applet animate the process. The demonstration is a script running within Seeburger's powerful CalcPlot3D applet and thus has a large number of display and control options.
