Abstract: In this paper higher-order tangent numbers and higher-order secant numbers, mathscrT(n,k)n,k=0infty and mathscrS(n,k)n,k=0infty, have been studied in detail. Several known results regarding mathscrT(n,k) and mathscrS(n,k) have been brought together along with many new results and insights and they all have been proved in a simple and unified manner. In particular, it is shown that the higher-order tangent numbers mathscrT(n,k) constitute a special class of the partial multivariate Bell polynomials and that mathscrS(n,k) can be computed from the knowledge of mathscrT(n,k). In addition, a simple explicit formula involving a double finite sum is deduced for the numbers mathscrT(n,k) and it is shown that mathscrT(n,k) are linear combinations of the classical tangent numbers Tn.
