And we looked at the component of a vector field in the direction that was normal to the curve.

我们研究的是，向量场在曲线法向量方向的情况。

That is our convention to get a unit normal vector that points to the right of the curve as we move along the curve.

这是约定的得到单位法向量的方法，这种做法使得，当沿着曲线行进时，法向量始终指向右手方向。

A normal distribution is the classic bell curve that appears so frequently in statistics.

正态分布是典型的钟形曲线，这在统计学中经常出现。

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

On the consumer banking side, a more normal yield curve would benefit banks like Morgan Stanley due to a better lending environment as banks can borrow short-term rates and lend long-term.
