<p>In <a href="page.php?w=geometry">geometry</a>, the <b>tangential angle</b> of a <a href="page.php?w=curve">curve</a> in the Cartesian plane, at a specific point, is the angle between the <a href="page.php?w=tangent_line">tangent line</a> to the curve at the given point and the -axis. (Some authors define the angle as the deviation from the direction of the curve at some fixed starting point. This is equivalent to the definition given here by the addition of a constant to the angle or by rotating the curve.)</p>
