Just an integral of
the length of the
tangent vector.
In general, the vectors T, N, and B, starting at the various points on a curve, form a
set of orthogonal vectors, called the TNB frame, that moves along the curve as t
varies. This TNB frame plays an important role in the branch of mathematics known
as differential geometry and in its applications to the motion of spacecraft.
