A tangent point of two similar curves.

A curve which intersects some straight line in an infinity of points (but for which not every point lies on this curve).

Capable of taking on exactly one possible value.

Informally, the term asymptotic means approaching a value or curve arbitrarily closely (i.e., as some sort of limit is taken). A line or curve A that is asymptotic to given ...

A quotient of two polynomials P(z) and Q(z), R(z)=(P(z))/(Q(z)), is called a rational function, or sometimes a rational polynomial function. More generally, if P and Q are ...

The vertical length of an object from top to bottom.

Oriented in position perpendicular to up-down, and therefore parallel to a flat surface.

A matrix for which horizontal and vertical dimensions are not the same (i.e., an m×n matrix with m!=n).

An abstract simplicial complex is a collection S of finite nonempty sets such that if A is an element of S, then so is every nonempty subset of A (Munkres 1993, p. 15).

The angle of attack alpha of a surface is measured as the angle between the direction of fluid flow relative to the surface, and the line in the direction of normal fluid ...
