The tangent indicatrix is a concept from differential geometry, particularly in the study of curves and surfaces. It helps visualize the direction in which a curve bends and the properties of its tangent vectors. For a curve in space, you can consider its tangent vector at a point. The tangent indicatrix is essentially a geometric representation where each point on the curve is associated with its tangent vector.
