A ruled surface M is a tangent developable of a curve y if M can be parameterized by x(u,v)=y(u)+vy^'(u). A tangent developable is a developable surface.

Let the speed sigma of a closed curve on the unit sphere S^2 never vanish. Then the tangent indicatrix, also called the tantrix, tau=(sigma^.)/(|sigma^.|) is another closed ...

Let (x_0,y_0) be any point of a surface function z=f(x,y). Then the surface has a nonvertical tangent plane at (x_0,y_0) with equation ...

Let x be a point in an n-dimensional compact manifold M, and attach at x a copy of R^n tangential to M. The resulting structure is called the tangent space of M at x and is ...

The tangential mid-arc circle is the circumcircle of the tangential mid-arc triangle. Its center and radius appear to be very complicated functions. Its center is not in ...

The planes passing through the vertices of a tetrahedron ABCD and tangent to the circumsphere at these points form another tetrahedron called the tangential tetrahedron. The ...

A quartic surface given by the implicit equation x^4-5x^2+y^4-5y^2+z^4-5z^2+11.8=0.

A system in which a strange loop appears.

The symbol tau (the lower case Greek letter tau) has many common uses in mathematics, as summarized in the following table. 1. tau(n) is an alternate notation for the divisor ...

Taylor's inequality is an estimate result for the value of the remainder term R_n(x) in any n-term finite Taylor series approximation. Indeed, if f is any function which ...
