- In trigonometry, the law of
tangents or
tangent rule is a
statement about the
relationship between the

angles of a
triangle and the lengths...
- A
tangent bundle is the
collection of all of the
tangent spaces for all
points on a manifold,
structured in a way that it
forms a new
manifold itself....
