     example, the axis of abscissas, or a radius of a circle
     produced. See Trigonometrical function, under Function.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Artificial tangent, or Logarithmic tangent, the logarithm
        of the natural tangent of an arc.
  
     Natural tangent, a decimal expressing the length of the
        tangent of an arc, the radius being reckoned unity.
  
     Tangent galvanometer (Elec.), a form of galvanometer having
        a circular coil and a short needle, in which the tangent
        of the angle of deflection of the needle is proportional

     Tangent of an angle, the natural tangent of the arc
        subtending or measuring the angle.
  
     Tangent of an arc, a right line, as ta, touching the arc of
