• Elliptical helix
    Elliptical helix in space with a point on it
  • Tangent vector as a limit
    Animation to illustrate the limiting process involved in the definition of the derivative
  • Tangent vector as a limit (Quicktime format)
    Animation to illustrate the limiting process involved in the definition of the derivative: control h using the slider
  • The tangent vector at the point
    The derivative vector that results from the above two animations
  • Tangent vectors from the derivative
    The derivative of the elliptical helix as another vector-valued function.
