Student[VectorCalculus][SpaceCurveTutor] - plot or animate characteristics of a space curve
Calling Sequence
SpaceCurveTutor()
SpaceCurveTutor(F, t=a..b)
SpaceCurveTutor(F, a..b)
Parameters
F
-
(optional) 'Vector'(algebraic); parametric definition of the space curve
t
(optional) name; define parameter of the space curve
a, b
(optional) real constants; define the range of the space curve
Description
The SpaceCurveTutor command launches a tutor interface that plots and animates the characteristics of a space curve such as: tangent vectors, normal vectors, binormal vectors, unit tangent vectors, unit normal vectors, unit binormal vectors, tangent-normal-binormal frame, curvature, and torsion.
If F and a..b are not specified, SpaceCurveTutor uses defaults. If t is not specified, it is inferred from F.
