dc.descriptionIn this paper, we prove that the position vector of every space curve satisfies a vector differential equation of fourth order. Also, we determine the parametric representation of the position vector $ψ=\Big(ψ_1,ψ_2,ψ_3\Big)$ of general helices from the intrinsic equations $κ=κ(s)$ and $τ=τ(s)$ where $κ$ and $τ$ are the curvature and torsion of the space curve $ψ$, respectively. Our result extends some knwown results. Moreover, we give four examples to illustrate how to find the position vector from the intrinsic equations of general helices.
