Everything about Normal (geometry)
Line or vector perpendicular to a curve or a surface
In geometry, a normal is an object that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, the normal line to a plane curve at a given point is the infinite straight line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point. Wikipedia →
