(; 215), n.[Gr. not falling together; 'a priv. + to fall together; with + to fall. Cf. Symptom.] (Math.) A line which approaches nearer to some curve than assignable distance, but, though infinitely extended, would never meet it. Asymptotes may be straight lines or curves. A rectilinear asymptote may be conceived as a tangent to the curve at an infinite distance. [Image] スポンサード リンク
