    Calculating Normal Vector Derivative in Differential Geometry Using Curve Basis

    Actually could i bring out the 1/sq u^2... out of the jacobian matrix then use the matrix to find the vector or no? so only the -v,-u,1 would be getting partially derived in the matrix?

    Calculating Normal Vector Derivative in Differential Geometry Using Curve Basis

    Homework Statement Using the curve \vec{a}(u,v)= (u,v,uv) for all (u,v) ε R^2 Find the matrix for d\vec{N} in the basis of {\vec{a}_{u},\vec{a}_{v}} Homework Equations Well first off i found the partial derivatives \vec{a}_{u} which is 1,0,v, while \vec{a}_{v} is 0,1,u Then using those...
