secant

- No such secant to the power of two thirds on Mars!

Why did he never mention the secant, with which he in fact operated?

Secant: an extended chord, a straight line cutting the circle at two points.

A chord is the portion of a secant that lies within the curve.

The word secant comes from the Latin secare, to cut.

The air mass then is simply the secant of the zenith angle :

This is an orthographic projection onto a cylinder secant at the 30 parallels.

Then use a table of secants to find out that 7.0 is the secant of 81.8 degrees.

The circle segment constitutes the part between the secant and an arc, excluding of the circle's center.

His course was leading him along the line of a secant, cutting toward the border of the huge red circle.

The secant or large-signal inductance is used in flux calculations.

It derives from the trigonometric relation (secant) between and .

Prove that the scraping-knife should never be a secant, and the brush always a tangent to a shoe.

But had the words been "function, limit, derivative, slope, secant, rate, average and ratio," I doubt he would have seen the same result.

Secant is a term in mathematics derived from the Latin secare ("to cut").

To divide, we exploit the definition of the secant as the reciprocal of the cosine.

Another important distribution function, related to solitons in optics, is the hyperbolic secant:

It can be derived from the mean value theorem by considering the secant of the graph of the function .

For a line, the secant between any two points is the line itself, but this is not the case for any other type of curve.

The developable surface may also be either tangent or secant to the sphere or ellipsoid.

This divides north-south distances by a factor equal to the secant of the latitude, preserving area but heavily distorting shapes.

The secant of an angle equals the cosecant of its complementary angle.

Hyperbolic secant:

A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.

The secant, ellipsoidal form of the transverse Mercator is the most widely applied of all projections for accurate large scale maps.
