The Way Trigonometry is used in Astronomy By: Joanna Matthews Practical Applications of Advanced Mathematics Mrs. Amy Goodrum July 15‚ 2003 Abstract This report is about how trigonometry is used in Astronomy. Even though trigonometry is applied in many areas‚ such as engineering‚ chemistry‚ surveying‚ and physics‚ it is mainly used in astronomy Trigonometry is used to find the distance of stars‚ the distance from one planet to another and from one plant to the sun. It is possible to find the

non-scientists‚ trigonometry is known chiefly for its application to measurement problems‚ yet is also often used in ways that are far more subtle‚ such as its place in the theory of music; still other uses are more technical‚ such as in number theory. The mathematical topics of Fourier series and Fourier transforms rely heavily on knowledge of trigonometric functions and find application in a number of areas‚ including statistics. There is an enormous number of applications of trigonometry and trigonometric

In the times of the greeks‚ trigonometry and geometry were important mathematical principles used in building‚ agriculture and education. The Babylonians could measure angles‚ and are believed to have invented the division of the cirle into 360º.[1] However‚ it was the Greeks who are seen as the original pioneers of trigonometry.

Spherical trigonometry Spherical trigonometry is that branch of spherical geometry which deals with the relationships between trigonometric functions of the sides and angles of the spherical polygons (especially spherical triangles) defined by a number of intersecting great circles on the sphere. Spherical trigonometry is of great importance for calculations in astronomy‚ geodesy and navigation. The origins of spherical trigonometry in Greek mathematics and the major developments in Islamic mathematics
