Transversal (combinatorics) In mathematics, particularly in combinatorics, given a family of sets, here called a collection ''C'', a transversal (also called a cross-section) is a set containing exactly one element from each member of the collection. When the sets of the co ...

Transversal (geometry) In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points. Transversals play a role in establishing whether two or more other lines in the Euclidean plane are parallel. The intersections of a t ...

, a line that intersects two or more lines at different points *

Transversal (instrument making) Transversals are a geometric construction on a scientific instrument to allow a graduation to be read to a finer degree of accuracy. Transversals have been replaced in modern times by vernier scales. This method is based on the Intercept theorem ( ...
