A normal to a curve $ L $
passing through a point $ M _ {0} $
of $ L $
and lying in the osculating plane to $ L $
at $ M _ {0} $.
If $ \mathbf r = \mathbf r ( t) $
is the parametric equation of the curve and the value $ t _ {0} $
corresponds to $ M _ {0} $,
then the equation of the principal normal in vector form is:
$$ \mathbf r = \mathbf r ( t _ {0} ) + \lambda \mathbf r ^ {\prime\prime} ( t _ {0} ). $$
