Normal

The term normal has many meanings:

In behavior etc.: normal means not deviating very much from the average; 'not normal' is often used in a negative sense (improper, sick, etc.). Abnormality varies greatly in how pleasant or unpleasant this is for other people; somebody may half-jokingly be called 'pleasantly disturbed'. See also mainstream, temperance, vanilla sex, equilibrium, stability, reality, peace, health, middle way, and on the other hand eccentricity, perversion, paraphilia, intersexual, disease, disability, mental illness, addiction, war, crime, fantasy, dream, hallucination, illusion. Some terms could fit in both lists, for example boredom: too much "normality" can be boring, but boredom is a kind of suffering, which can be considered "not normal".

In education, a normal school is a school in which teachers are trained.

Mathematical meanings:

In geometry and physics: a normal is a line perpendicular to a surface.
In algebra (in particular, group theory): a normal subgroup is a subgroup that is invariant under conjugation. See Normal subgroup.
In statistics, a random variable is called normal if it follows the normal distribution.
In mathematical analysis: a normal number is a number whose digit sequence is random. See Normal number.
In linear algebra: a normal matrix is a matrix which commutes with its conjugate transpose. See normal matrix.
In abstract algebra: a normal extension is a field extension in which certain polynomials can be completely factored into linear polynomials. See normal extension[?].
In functional analysis: a normal operator is a linear operator on a Hilbert space that commutes with its adjoint. See normal operator.
In topology: a normal space is a topological space in which disjoint closed sets can be separated by neighborhoods. See normal space.
In category theory: a normal morphism is a morphism that arises as the kernel or cokernel of some other morphisms. See normal morphism.
