Despite my lack of being a math major, I am more than familiar with tangents. A tangent is a straight line that touches, but doesn’t cross through, a curve at a particular point. At least, that’s what ...

To construct the tangent to a curve at a certain point A, you draw a line that follows the general direction of the curve at that point. An example of this can be seen below. Once the tangent is found ...

To find the area under a curve, we have to split the space into very thin strips and look at them individually. Each strip is approximately the same shape as a trapezium, and we use the trapezium ...

$$ \lambda(a,b,r,p,q) = \begin{cases} \begin{cases} x_1 = r \cdot \cos(\gamma_1) + a \\ y_1 = r \cdot \sin(\gamma_1) + b \end{cases} \\ \begin{cases} x_2 = r \cdot ...
