secant

I want secant fifteen less one times thirty-two hundred.

Good thing I didn't learn secant until high school -- in which my typo would turn into a pleasant surprise

It always bugged me that secant is 1/cosine, cosecant is 1/sine, and cotangent is 1/tangent.

"Notice that as h gets close to zero, the secant line almost perfectly matches the growth of f at point A. "Not sure what this means..."For instance, in this situation we can study the limit of the slope of g when h tends to 0.

I have found that the biggest gap is actually understanding what sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant and cotangent are.

"Understanding the basics of the derivative was the first place I banged my head, but that was because I didn't adequately understand the secant.

We will explore different approaches and use methods such as: topological ordering, bisect and secant method.

Regula falsi and secant methods are examples of these and in my experience especially regula falsi works very well.

However, I also had to do what you did with Trigonometry - one of the extremely irritating things is that nobody teaches you why the names are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant.

"We study this graphical model from the perspectives of algebraic statistics and tropical geometry, starting with the observation that its Zariski closure is a Hadamard power of the first secant variety of the Segre variety of projective lines.
