In this paper, we define timelike curves in R⁴₂ and characterize such curves in terms of Frenet frame. Also, we examine the timelike helices of R⁴₂, taking into account their curvatures. In addition, we study timelike slant helices, timelike B₁-slant helices, timelike B₂-slant helices in four dimensional semi-Euclidean space, R⁴₂. And then we obtain an approximate solution for the timelike B₁ slant helix with Taylor matrix collocation method.

In this paper, we give some relations related with a spacelike principal-direction curve and a spacelike binormal-direction curve of a timelike Frenet curve. The Darboux-direction curve and the Darboux-rectifying curve of a timelike Frenet curve in Minkowski 3-space $E^3_1$ are introduced and some characterizations related with these associated curves are given. Later we define the spacelike V-direction curve which is associated with a timelike curve lying on a timelike oriented surface in $E^3_1$ and present some results together with the relationships between the curvatures of this associated curve.
