1. According to norms or rules.

   Organize the data into third normal form.

2. Usual; ordinary

   Felicia baked the bread the normal way.

3. Healthy; not sick or ill

   John is feeling normal again.

4. Pertaining to a school to teach teachers how to teach.

   My grandmother attended Mankato State Normal School.

5. (informal, pejorative towards homosexuals) Heterosexual.

   We don't like your sort around here - this bar is for normal people.

6. of, relating to, or being a solution containing one equivalent weight of solute per litre of solution.
7. (Of a mode in an oscillating system) In which all parts of an object vibrate at the same frequency; See normal mode
8. Perpendicular to a tangent line or derivative of a surface in Euclidean space.

   The interior normal vector of a ideal perfect sphere will always point toward the center, and the exterior normal vector directly away, and both will always be co-linear with the ray whose' tip ends at the point of intersection, which is the intersection of all three sets of points.
