Özet

This paper gives a method for determining a developable timelike ruled surface by using dual vector calculus. A developable timelike ruled surface can be parameterized in the form m(t, u) =p(t) + u x(t) ( p(t) is called the base curve of m(t, u) ). The dual vectorial expression of a developable timelike ruled surface is obtained from the coordinates and the first derivatives of the base curve.
