Definition:Normal Vector: Also defined as

Some introductory texts, in an attempt to keep concepts simple when first presented, define a normal vector with respect to a plane surface only.

While this definition is appropriate, and completely compatible with this more general case, it is important to note that this definition can (and should) be expanded to include surfaces which are not in fact plane.
