Tangent indicatrix
text:
In differential geometry, the tangent indicatrix of a closed space curve is a curve on the unit sphere intimately related to the curvature of the original curve. Let γ be a closed curve with nowhere-vanishing tangent vector γ ˙ . Then the tangent indicatrix T of γ is the closed curve on the unit sphere given by T = γ ˙ | γ ˙ | . The total curvature of γ is equal to the arc length of T .
