Study Notes

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with triangles and their relationships between angles, lengths, and areas. It has applications in many fields including astronomy, physics, engineering, and architecture. In fact, it was originally developed by ancient Greek astronomers who wanted to measure the positions of stars and planets accurately. Over time, mathematicians extended its scope beyond these practical purposes into pure theory. Some key concepts in trigonometry include sines, cosines and tangents which relate the sides and angle of right angled triangle. These functions form the basis for most calculations involving triangular shapes, such as finding distances between points or calculating surface area. Although there are some advanced problems related to spherical geometry, trigonometric tools remain core elements of modern math curricula.
