Mathematics

Normal (geometry) In geometry, a normal is an object such as 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 (infinite) line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve ...

Normal order of an arithmetic function In number theory, a normal order of an arithmetic function is some simpler or better-understood function which "usually" takes the same or closely approximate values. Let ''f'' be a function on the natural numbers. We say that ''g'' is a normal or ...
