Helo..i have a problem about geometry..
How to show that the normal spherical image of x is never constant?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
what is normal image of a point??
please explain

all functions anda curves considered here are assumed to be of class at least C3.
If x(s) is a regular curve parametrized by arc length s, then t:(a,b)-> R3 defined a curve on S2..

this curve might not be regular and is called the tangent spherical image of x.
the normal spherical image n(s) and binomial spherical image b(s) of x can also be defined.

so, the question is how to proof that the normal spherical image of x is never constant?
