called a
curved line in
older texts) is an

- A
parallel of a
curve is the
envelope of a
family of
congruent circles centered on the
curve. It
generalises the
concept of

tangent line (
or simply tangent) to a

given point is, intuitively, the
straight line that "just touches" the
curve at that point. Leibniz...
