| Fig. 3.28a-c : Diagrams to define second fundamental form for a surface. a) Parameter plane with arbitrary curve u = u(t), v = v(t). b) Surface with curve, c[u(t), v(t)], unit normal vector, N, differential tangent vector, dc, and differential normal vector, dN. c) Surface with osculating plane containing the unit binormal vector, n(t), and curvature vector, k(t).
