Normal mapping — used to re detail simplified meshes. In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping, or Dot3 bump mapping , is a technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and dents. It is used to add details without using more polygons. A common use of this… … Wikipedia
Normal invariant — In mathematics, a normal map is a concept in geometric topology due to William Browder which is of fundamental importance in surgery theory. Given a Poincaré complex X, a normal map on X endows the space, roughly speaking, with some of the… … Wikipedia

Map (higher-order function) — In many programming languages, map is the name of a higher order function that applies a given function to each element of a list, returning a list of results. They are examples of both catamorphisms and anamorphisms. This is often called apply… … Wikipedia

Normal bundle — In differential geometry, a field of mathematics, a normal bundle is a particular kind of vector bundle, complementary to the tangent bundle, and coming from an embedding (or immersion). Contents 1 Definition 1.1 Riemannian manifold 1.2 … Wikipedia
Normal extension — In abstract algebra, an algebraic field extension L/K is said to be normal if L is the splitting field of a family of polynomials in K[X]. Bourbaki calls such an extension a quasi Galois extension. Contents 1 Equivalent properties and examples 2… … Wikipedia
