This clay tablet written around the year 1800 B.C.E. may represent the oldest known use of trigonometry UNSW / Andrew Kelly A new analysis of a long-studied Babylonian tablet suggests that ...

Trigonometry is the branch of math that studies triangles, with a particular focus on the relationships between angles and the lengths of corresponding sides. Interestingly enough, the trigonometric ...

The sides of right-angled triangles are labelled opposite, hypotenuse and adjacent. Trigonometry explores the relationship between sides and angles in right-angled triangles. The hypotenuse is the ...

Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...

What do you think the graph of \(y = \cos 2x^\circ\) would look like? amplitude = 1, so the distance between the maximum and minimum values is 2 number of waves = 2 (period is 360˚ ÷ 2 = 180˚) graph ...

THE Paralogistes pseudomathematicus has become so rare, or possibly so shy, that it is a real pleasure to find that the species is not extinct. Alack! that De Morgan is not with us, to do justice to ...

THIS is a sequel to the large “Plane Trigonometry” by the same writer, and is naturally drawn up on the same plan. Its size is handy, and yet it contains a very large amount of matter. Much of this ...

Trigonometric identities might seem like abstract mathematical concepts, but they're actually powerful problem-solving tools that can transform seemingly impossible equations into manageable solutions ...
