1. TRIGONOMETRYnoun

   Trigonometry is the art of measuring triangles, or of calculating the sides of any triangle sought, and this is plain or spherical. John Harris

   Etymology: trigonometrie, Fr.

   On a discovery of Pythagoras all trigonometry, and consequently all navigation, is founded. Guardian.

1. Trigonometry

   Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle', and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') is a branch of mathematics concerned with relationships between angles and ratios of lengths. The field emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd century BC from applications of geometry to astronomical studies. The Greeks focused on the calculation of chords, while mathematicians in India created the earliest-known tables of values for trigonometric ratios (also called trigonometric functions) such as sine.Throughout history, trigonometry has been applied in areas such as geodesy, surveying, celestial mechanics, and navigation.Trigonometry is known for its many identities. These trigonometric identities are commonly used for rewriting trigonometrical expressions with the aim to simplify an expression, to find a more useful form of an expression, or to solve an equation.

1. trigonometry

   Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the angles and sides of triangles. It introduces functions to quantify these relationships and applies them to solve problems in fields such as physics, engineering, astronomy, and architecture. The main functions in trigonometry are sine, cosine, and tangent.

1. Trigonometry

   Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between the lengths of their sides and the angles between those sides. Trigonometry defines the trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclical phenomena, such as waves. The field evolved during the third century BC as a branch of geometry used extensively for astronomical studies. It is also the foundation of the practical art of surveying. Trigonometry basics are often taught in school either as a separate course or as part of a precalculus course. The trigonometric functions are pervasive in parts of pure mathematics and applied mathematics such as Fourier analysis and the wave equation, which are in turn essential to many branches of science and technology. Spherical trigonometry studies triangles on spheres, surfaces of constant positive curvature, in elliptic geometry. It is fundamental to astronomy and navigation. Trigonometry on surfaces of negative curvature is part of hyperbolic geometry.
