What we will do is just, at every point along the curve, the dot product between the vector field and the normal vector.

我们要做的是，沿着曲线的每一点上，取向量场和法向量的点积。

So the normal--the bell-shaped curve in that case for the x/n is going to look something like this.

那么x/n的钟形曲线,大概就会是这个样子

Then, if n = 100--now I'm going to label this x differently, I'm now going to show the normal bell-shaped curve and I'm going to do this from 0 to .4.

如果n=100,现在我得重新标x值,我现在要画正态分布的钟形曲线了,在这儿用0到0.4
