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

- In mathematics, a
tangent vector is a
vector that is
tangent to a

surface at a
given point.
Tangent vectors are
described in the differential...
- most
widely used in
modern mathematics are the sine, the cosine, and the
tangent functions.
Their reciprocals are

- In mathematics, the
tangent space of a
manifold is a
generalization of
tangent lines to

- geometry, a
tangent line to a
circle is a line that
touches the
circle at
exactly one point,
never entering the circle's interior.

- 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....
- In
solid mechanics, the
tangent modulus is the
slope of the stress–strain
curve at any
specified stress or strain.
Below the
proportional limit (the limit...

Tangent arcs are a type of halo, an
atmospheric optical phenomenon,
which appears above and
below the
observed Sun or Moon,
tangent to the 22° halo. To...
