Differential geometry

There is currently only one program available in the other directory, written in UserRPL by John Wilson, that I have translated into SysRPL, it is named TNBA for tangent, normal, binormal, acceleration. It takes a 3-dimensional vector (as a list) at level 1 (e.g. { '2*T' 1 'T^2' }) and returns the position, tangent, normal and binormal vectors as well as the tangential and normal acceleration.
