WHAT DOES OSCULATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Osculating curve

In differential geometry, an osculating curve is a plane curve from a given family that has the highest possible order of contact with another curve. That is, if F is a family of smooth curves, C is a smooth curve, and p is a point on C, then an osculating curve from F at p is a curve from F that passes through p and has as many of its derivatives at p equal to the derivatives of C as possible. The term derives from the Latinate root "osculate", to kiss, because the two curves contact one another in a more intimate way than simple tangency.

Definition of osculation in the English dictionary

The definition of osculation in the dictionary is Also called: tacnode a point at which two branches of a curve have a common tangent, each branch extending in both directions of the tangent. Other definition of osculation is the act or an instance of kissing.
