Binormal Vector

The binormal vector is the unit vector perpendicular to both the unit tangent vectorand the principal normal vector. Given a parameterized curve we can express its binormal vector as

Since and are orthogonal unit vectors, is automatically a unit vector with .

Alternative Form

When computing is inconvenient, can be computed directly from the derivatives of as

This works because always points in the direction of , so normalizing it yields the binormal vector directly.
