OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A curve of pursuit is a curve constructed by analogy to having a point or points which represents pursuers and pursuees, and the curve of pursuit is the curve traced by the pursuers. With the paths of the pursuer and pursuee parameterized in time, the pursuee is always on the pursuer's tangent. With the paths of the pursuer and pursuee parameterized in time, the pursuee is always on the pursuer's tangent. In geometry, the tangent line (or simply the tangent) to a curve at a given point is the straight line that just touches the curve at that point (in the sense explained more precisely below). As it passes through the point where the tangent line and the curve meet, or the point of tangency, the tangent line is going in the same direction as the curve, and in this sense it is the best straight-line approximation to the curve at that point. The same definition applies to space curves and curves in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Mariam T. Tennoe , Susan F.
