I need some help plotting vectors in either Maple or MATLAB. I have a parametric space curve and I am trying to plot the tangent, normal, and bi-normal unit vectors at several points along the curve.
I have roughly 10 or 11 points at which I want to plot the tangent, normal, and binormal vectors. The vectors are in numerical form such as t(1)=[1,2,3] (when the parametric coordinate=1, the tangent vector is [1,2,3], etc.)
1. How do I plot a vector starting from a given point, say plot the vector [1,2,3] starting at point [4,5,6]?
2. How do I plot all three unit vectors at the same point along with the three unit vectors for the other points on the same plot with the original parametric curve?
This doesn't seem like it should be difficult but I never learned how. Any help is quite appreciated!
