Study Notes

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles and is an essential topic for understanding geometry and geometry-related problems. It is further classified into two sub-branches: Plane Trigonometry and Spherical Trigonometry

Trigonometry deals with specific functions of angles and their application to calculations. The six most commonly used trigonometric functions are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), and cosecant (csc) These functions are used to find the missing or unknown angles or sides of a right triangle using trigonometric functions or identities

Trigonometry is used in a number of mathematical and mathematical-related problems, such as:

  • Solving for a side in a right triangle using the trigonometric ratios
  • Solving for an angle in a right triangle using the trigonometric ratios
  • Familiarity with the sine and cosine of complementary angles
  • Transformation of sinusoidal graphs
  • Graphing sinusoidal functions
  • Solving trigonometric equations and identities

Trigonometry is a prerequisite for learning Calculus in senior mathematics and is essential for students who wish to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses

In trigonometry, angles can be measured in degrees or radians Some of the most commonly used trigonometric angles for calculations are 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°

In the modern sense, trigonometry began with the Greeks, with Hipparchus being the first to construct a table of values for a trigonometric function The concept of trigonometry can be trac ed to the Egyptians, who had at least some knowledge of the numerical relations in a triangle, a kind of "proto-trigonometry"
