21. For example, the sine of the secant of the tangent of the logarithm of i? 22. The secant method can be thought of as a finite difference approximation of Newton's method. 23. Ding ( 2014 ) shows three occurrences of the Hyperbolic secant distribution in statistical modeling and inference. 24. The secant stiffness of the connection K s is taken as an index property of connection stiffness. 25. In this way, this trigonometric identity involving the tangent and the secant follows from the Pythagorean theorem. 26. :Functions like sine, secant , tangent and logarithm can all be defined as infinite Taylor series. 27. The convergence of the series in the denominators can be shown by writing the secant identity in the form 28. The tangent line is a limit of secant lines just as the derivative is a limit of difference quotients. 29. The tables of logarithms of sines, secants , and tangents were also required for the purposes of navigation. 30. This can be compared with 1.62 for the secant method and 2 for Newton's method.
