   Polar \Po"lar\, n. (Conic Sections)
      The right line drawn through the two points of contact of the
      two tangents drawn from a given point to a given conic
      section. The given point is called the pole of the line. If

      tangents become imaginary, there is still a real polar line
      which does not meet the curve, but which possesses other
      properties of the polar. Thus the focus and directrix are
      pole and polar. There are also poles and polar curves to
      curves of higher degree than the second, and poles and polar
      planes to surfaces of the second degree.
