Normal coordinates exist on a normal neighborhood of a point p in M. A normal neighborhood U is an open subset of M such that there is a proper neighborhood V of the origin in the tangent space T p M, and exp p acts as a diffeomorphism between U and V. On a normal neighborhood U of p in M, the chart is given by: :=: The isomorphism E, and ...
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 line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point. A normal vector of length one is called a unit normal vector.
In the cylindrical coordinate system, a z-coordinate with the same meaning as in Cartesian coordinates is added to the r and θ polar coordinates giving a triple (r, θ, z). [8] Spherical coordinates take this a step further by converting the pair of cylindrical coordinates ( r , z ) to polar coordinates ( ρ , φ ) giving a triple ( ρ , θ ...

The GF method, sometimes referred to as FG method, is a classical mechanical method introduced by Edgar Bright Wilson to obtain certain internal coordinates for a vibrating semi-rigid molecule, the so-called normal coordinates Q k. Normal coordinates decouple the classical vibrational motions of the molecule and thus give an easy route to ...
A normal vector to a strictly convex surface can be used to uniquely define a surface position. n-vector is an outward-pointing normal vector with unit length used as a position representation. [1] For most applications the surface is the reference ellipsoid of the Earth, and thus n-vector is used to represent a horizontal position.

If itself is a geodesic, then Fermi–Walker's transport becomes the standard parallel transport and Fermi's coordinates become standard Riemannian coordinates adapted to . In this case, using these coordinates in a neighbourhood T {\displaystyle T} of γ {\displaystyle \gamma } , we have Γ b c a = 0 {\displaystyle \Gamma _{bc}^{a}=0} , all ...
