"Principal normal to a space curve at a point: The line perpendicular to
the space curve C at the point P
of C and lying in the osculating plane of C at P. The positive direction
of the principal normal to C at P
is chosen so that the tangent, principal normal, and binormal to C at P
have the same mutual orientation as the positive x, y, and z axes."
