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
