	tangent - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about tangent
		The tangent of an angle is a mathematical function used in the study of right-angled triangles.
		If the tangent of an angle β is known, then the length of the opposite side can be found given the length of the adjacent side, or vice versa.
		In trigonometry, a function of an acute angle in a right-angled triangle, defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to it; a way of expressing the gradient of a line.

	Tangent (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A clavichord tangent is a part of the action of the clavichord that both initates and sustains a tone, and helps determine pitch.
		A tangent piano tangent is a part of the action of the tangent piano that only initiates the sound by striking the string(s) and rebounding immediately in the manner of a piano.
		A tangent is another way to refer to a red herring, or a topic nearly unrelated to the main topic, but having a point in common with it.

	Tangent Mechanism Encyclopedia @ HillCountryArts.com (Hill Country Arts) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A tangent, when referred to in the context of the action of a tangent piano refers to the small slip of wood similar in shape to a harpsichord jack or similar to an unleathered fortepiano hammer which strikes the string to produce sound.
		It is similar to the tangent of a clavichord only in the sense that they both are driven ultimately by the player's finger to strike the string to initate sound.
		In the clavichord, the tangent remains in contact with the string to keep the note sounding, while in the tangent piano, the tangent immediately rebounds from the string so that the string is allowed to vibrate freely (that is, it has an escapement).

	Tangent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(Note that in the important case of a conic section, such as a circle, the tangent line will intersect the curve at only one point.) It is also possible for a line to be a double tangent, when it is tangent to the same curve at two distinct points.
		It is tangent to the curve at the point indicated by the dot.
		The trigonometric tangent function arises as a generating function in combinatorics; see alternating permutation.

		The Comics Journal's editors wish to emphasize that the posting of this essay in no way represents an endorsement of the views contained therein which, as a matter of fact, they find (to various degrees) as nutty and loathesome - or moreso - as some of the more extreme Jack Chick tracts.
		This perception was apparently shared by Sim's (female) typesetter, who quit in disgust midway through keying it in (a principled decision that Sim mentions, and mocks, in the finished version of the essay itself).
		Note: Rather than post the entire thing in one long webpage, we've decided to break each of the five "tangents" into their own pages, each linkable from the others; the "Pre-Tangent preamble" is included with the first "tangent," while Sim's notice of public domain (from the inside back cover) is included with the fifth.

	The Tangent
		The tangent is a tool of trigonometry, related to the sine and cosine.
		The calculators which give sines and cosines, and the books which tabulate their values, are also able to give tangents and cotangents.
		If you have a table of tangents, you can now look for the angles whose tangents just above and just below that value, and estimate where between them A should be ("interpolate").
