Introduction
The normal vector, often simply called the "normal", to a surface is a vector perpendicular to it. Often, the normal unit vector is desired, which is sometimes known as the "unit normal".
The normal vector at point (x0, y0) on a surface z = f(x ,y) is given by
where and are partial derivatives.
A normal vector to a plane is specified by
is given by
where denotes the gradient.
