👉 In mathematics, a ramification is an occurrence of a geometric phenomenon where two or more lines intersect in a single point. This occurs when two or more curves share one or both of their directions of curvature (i.e., slopes) at a common point.
A ramification can be defined by the following rules:
1.
Slopes
: The slope of each line is not the same, but rather the slopes are multiplied together to form the overall slope of the curve.
2.
