Vectors for the derivation of equations of tangent and normal

Abstract

The techniques of derivation offered are generalized, simple and straight forward. Furthermore, unlike the traditional techniques, the present scheme increases the range of applicability of one of the fundament concepts of vector calculus (namely, gradient of a scalar point function) as well. As a result, this contribution must have educational value and it will enrich and sophisticate the traditional literature thereby enhancing the same as well.
