Revision as of 14:53, 7 June 2020

The plane of the Frénet frame (cf. Frénet trihedron) of a given point on a curve (cf. Line (curve)) which is spanned by the tangent (cf. Tangent line) and the binormal to the curve at this point. The equation of the rectifying plane can be written in the form

or

where is the equation of the curve.
