- Normal (geometry) - Wikipedia
In geometry, a normal is an object (e g a line, ray, or vector) 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 A normal vector is a vector perpendicular to a given object at a particular point
- Tangents And Normals - Definition, Formula, Examples, FAQs
Tangents and normals are the lines associated with curves such as circles, parabola, ellipse, hyperbola Tangent is a line touching the curve and normal is a line perpendicular to the tangent, at the point of contact
- NORMAL Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
regular, normal, typical, natural mean being of the sort or kind that is expected as usual, ordinary, or average regular stresses conformity to a rule, standard, or pattern normal implies lack of deviation from what has been discovered or established as the most usual or expected
- Normal Vector -- from Wolfram MathWorld
When normals are considered on closed surfaces, the inward-pointing normal (pointing towards the interior of the surface) and outward-pointing normal are usually distinguished
- Normals: What are they and how they help us pick better - Zivid
Surface normals are the vectors we find on surfaces that help us understand the nature of that surface Often abbreviated to just ‘normals,’ they are perpendicular to the tangent plane line at a particular point on the surface

Let us learn more about the equation of tangents and normals for various curves like circles, parabolas, and other curves, examples, and others in this article
- 1. Tangents and Normals - Interactive Mathematics
We often need to find tangents and normals to curves when we are analysing forces acting on a moving body A tangent to a curve is a line that touches the curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point A normal to a curve is a line perpendicular to a tangent to the curve
