Abstract

Firstly, the axis of a slant helix is found. Secondly, the theorem which characterizes a slant helix is proved in detail. The importance of this theorem is stemed from that it has been led to doing many papers about slant helices.

Keywords

Slant helix , principal normal indicatrix , the axis
