of
degree
of
bending
of a
mathematical

at any point to
depart
from a
tangent
drawn to the curve at that
point..

Stress
(n.) The
force,
or
combination
of
forces,
which
produces
a
strain;
force
exerted
in any
direction
or
manner
between
contiguous
bodies,
or parts of
bodies,
and
taking
specific
names
according
to its
direction,
or mode of
action,
as
thrust
or

stress..
Mesologarithm
::
Mesologarithm
(n.) A
logarithm
of the
cosine
or
cotangent.
Tangent
::
Tangent
(v. t.) A
tangent
line
curve,
or
surface;
specifically,
that
portion
of the
straight
line
tangent
to a curve that is
between
the point of
tangency
and a given line, the given line
being,
for
example,
the axis of

radius
of a
circle
produced.

Function..
Level
::
Level (n.) A
horizontal
line or
plane;
that is, a
straight
line or a plane which is
tangent
to a true level at a given point and hence
parallel
to the
horizon
at that
point;
-- this is the
apparent
level at the given
point..
Tangentially
::
Tangentially
(adv.)
In the
direction
of a
tangent.
Bitangent
::
Bitangent
(a.)
Possessing
the
property
of
touching
at two
points.
Cusp
::
Cusp (n.) A
multiple
point of a curve at which two or more
branches
of the curve have a
common
tangent.
Lemniscate
::
Lemniscate
(n.) A curve in the form of the
figure
8, with both parts
symmetrical,
generated
by the point in which a
tangent
to an
equilateral
hyperbola
meets the
perpendicular
on it drawn from the
center..
Tangent
::
Tangent
(a.)
meeting
a curve or
surface
at a point and
having
at that point the same
direction
as the curve or
surface;
-- said of a

as, a line
tangent
to a
curve;

Envelop
::
Envelop
(n.) A curve or
surface
which is
tangent
to each
member
of a
system
of
curves
or
surfaces,
the form and
position
of the
members
of the
system
being
allowed
to vary
according
to some
continuous
law. Thus, any curve is the
envelope
of its
tangents..
Tangent
::
Tangent
(a.)
Touching;

poin.
Subtartarean
::
Subtangent
(n.) The part of the axis
contained
between
the
ordinate

tangent
drawn to the same point in a
curve.
Indicatrix
::
Indicatrix
(n.) A
certain
conic
section
supposed
to be drawn in the
tangent
plane to any
surface,
and used to
determine
the
accidents
of
curvature
of the
surface
at the point of
contact.
The curve is
similar
to the
intersection
of the
surface
with a
parallel
to the
tangent
plane and
indefinitely
near it. It is an
ellipse
when the
curvature
is
synclastic,
and an
hyperbola
when the
curvature
is
anticlastic..

and
arrangement
in a

particulars
or
values,
for ready
reference,
as of
weights,
measures,
currency,
specific
gravities,
etc.; also, a
series
of
numbers
following
some law, and
expressing
particular
values
corresponding
to
certain
other
numbers
on which they
depend,
and by means of which they are taken out for use in
computations;
as,
tables
of
logarithms,
sines,
tangents,
squares,
cubes,
etc.;
annuity
tables;
interest
tables;
astronomical
tables,

Shear
::
Shear (v. t.) An
action,
resulting
from
applied
forces,
which tends to cause two
contiguous
parts of a body to slide
relatively
to each other in a
direction
parallel
to their plane of
contact;
-- also
called
shearing
stress,
and
tangential
stress..
Secant

Secant
(a.) A right line drawn from the
center
of a
circle
through
one end of a
