In differential geometry, the **osculating plane** is a concept related to curves in three-dimensional space. Specifically, the osculating plane at a given point on a curve is the plane that best approximates the curve near that point. The osculating plane can be defined using the following components: 1. **Tangent Vector**: At any point on a smooth curve, the tangent vector represents the direction in which the curve is moving.
