Notations

Let $ S$ be a shape, and $ x_0$ be one of its points. We note $ \Xi$ a cartesian equation of $ S$ and $ (U, \xi)$ a parameterization of $ S$ in the neighborhood of $ x_0$. Thus we note $ (u_0, v_0)$ the element of $ U$ which image through $ \xi$ is $ x_0$: $ x_0 = \xi(u_0, v_0)$.

Let $ C$ be a curve of cartesian equation $ \Gamma$, contained in $ S$ going though $ x_0$, and $ (T, \gamma)$ a parameterization of $ C$ such that $ x_0 = \gamma(t_0)$.
