WHAT DOES TANGENTIALLY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tangent

In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point. Informally, it is a line through a pair of infinitely close points on the curve. More precisely, a straight line is said to be a tangent of a curve y = f(x) at a point x = c on the curve if the line passes through the point (c, f(c)) on the curve and has slope f'(c) where f' is the derivative of f. A similar definition applies to space curves and curves in n-dimensional Euclidean space. As it passes through the point where the tangent line and the curve meet, called the point of tangency, the tangent line is "going in the same direction" as the curve, and is thus the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point. Similarly, the tangent plane to a surface at a given point is the plane that "just touches" the surface at that point. The concept of a tangent is one of the most fundamental notions in differential geometry and has been extensively generalized; see Tangent space.

Definition of tangentially in the English dictionary

The definition of tangentially in the dictionary is in such a way as to be of, being, relating to, or in the direction of a tangent or a geometric line, curve, plane, or curved surface that touches another curve or surface at one point but does not intersect it. Other definition of tangentially is in such a way as to be of superficial relevance only; digressively.
