Term
||Vector(a)||
Definition
sqrt(a12+a22+a32+...+an2)
Term
dot(vector(a),vector(b))
Definition

a1b1+a2b2+a3b3+...+anbn

||vector(a)||*||vector(b)||*cos(C)

where C is the angle formed between a and b

Term
cross(vector(a),vector(b))
Definition

(a2b3-a3b2)i+(a3b1-a1b3)j+(a1b2-a2b1)k

Only defined in 3 space

 

Term
||cross(vector(a),vector(b)||
Definition

||a||*||b||*sin(C)

where C is the angle between a and c

1/2 this product is the triangle formed by the two vectors

Term
projection vector b ont vector a
Definition
vector(a)*dot(a,b)/(||a||2)
Term
||projection vector b onto a||
Definition

dot(a,b)/||a||

||b||cos(c)

where c is the angle formed by a and b

Term
Distance from point P to line through Q and R
Definition

||cross(PQ,QR)||/||QR||

This is easy to remember because the numerator is just
twice the area of the triangle created by the

three points, the denominator is the

base.  bh/b=h

Term
Distance to point P to a plane given a normal vector N and point Q
Definition

|dot(N, PQ)|/||N||

This is the just the length of the projection of the vector PQ onto the normal.

Term
Arc length formula
Definition

integral from a to b of: ||r`(t)||dt

where a and b are start and end value of t.

b can be substituted for t to get an arclength function.

Term
Unit Tangent Vector
Definition
T(t)=r`(t)/(||r`(t)||)
Term
Unit Normal Vector
Definition
T`(t)/||T`(t)||
Term
Binormal Vector
Definition

B(t)=cross(T(t),N(t))

should have a magnitude of 1

Term
Tangential Acceleration
Definition

dot(v,a)/||v||

sqrt(||a||2-an2)

where v is the velocity vector, a is the acceleration vector

note that this is a scalar

and

||a||2=at2+an2

Term
Normal Acceleration
Definition

||cross(v,a)||/||v||

sqrt(||a||2-at2)

where v is the velocity vector, a is the acceleration vector

note that this is a scalar

and

||a||2=at2+an2

Term
Curvature Formula
Definition

||T`(t)||/||r`(t)||

||cross(v,a)||/(||v||3)

where v is the velocity vector, a is the acceleration vector

note that this is a scalar

 

Term
Radius of Curvature
Definition
1/Curvature
Term

Vector Valued
Symmetric
and Parametrized Forms

of line from <a,b,c> to <d,e,f>

Definition

r(t)=((d-a)t+a)i+((e-b)+b)j+((f-c)+c)k

(x-a)/(d-a)=(y-b)/(e-b)=(z-c)/(f-c)

x=(d-a)t+a; y=(e-b)t+b; z=(f-c)t+c
