Intro: Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between their sides and the angles between these sides. 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. Fields that use trigonometry or trigonometric functions include

Trigonometry is a field of mathematics first compiled by 2nd century BCE. Greek mathematician Hipparchus. The history of trigonometry and of trigonometric functions follows the general lines of the history of mathematics. Early study of triangles can be traced to the 2nd millennium BC‚ in Egyptian mathematics (Rhind Mathematical Papyrus) and Babylonian mathematics. Systematic study of trigonometric functions begins in Hellenistic mathematics‚ reaching India as part of Hellenistic astronomy. In Indian

The History of Trigonometry is one type of mathematics that deals with the sides and the angles. In the First paragraph I would like to explain the main history of trigonometry and also go into detail about the certain aspects of the mathematic branch. In the Second paragraph I will explain details on 4 of the great trigonometry mathematicians who discovered information about trigonometry‚ as well as improved existing theories as well. In the Third paragraph I would like to explain how these theories

Various jobs utilize trigonometry on a daily basis. When people speak of jobs that use trigonometry‚ they think of the most ideal or stereotyped jobs such as: aerospace engineers‚ architects‚ and construction workers. However‚ there are many more applications of trigonometry than one may think. One of these “obscure” jobs is optometry. Optometrists‚ the main providers of vision care‚ use trigonometry almost everyday. Specifically‚ trigonometry is commonly used in the form of fitting glasses to someone’s

Early trigonometry The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians had known of theorems on the ratios of the sides of similar triangles for many centuries. But pre-Hellenic societies lacked the concept of an angle measure and consequently‚ the sides of triangles were studied instead‚ a field that would be better called "trilaterometry".[6]The Babylonian astronomers kept detailed records on the rising and setting of stars‚ the motion of the planets‚ and the solar and lunar eclipses‚ all of which required

Augsburg‚ Germany‚ Wolf Blitzer is famous journalist and news anchor. He’s the son of Cesia‚ who works as a homemaker‚ and David‚ homebuilder. Both of his parents were Jewish refugees from Oświęcim‚ Poland. They both lived through the Holocaust‚ then had Wolf. They moved to America and raised Blitzer in Buffalo‚ New York. He would often be asked about his odd name “Wolf”; he says that it is the same name as his maternal grandfather. He has also used the name Zev Blitzer or Zev Barak. Zev is translated

sides of similar triangles and discovered some properties of these ratios‚ but did not turn that into a systematic method for finding sides and angles of triangles. The ancient Nubians used a similar methodology.[5] The ancient Greeks transformed trigonometry into an ordered science.[6] Classical Greek mathematicians (such as Euclid and Archimedes) studied the properties of chords and inscribed angles in circles‚ and proved theorems that are equivalent to modern trigonometric formulae‚ although they

When you flip a light switch‚ the light seems to come on almost immediately‚ giving the impression that the electrons in the wiring move very rapidly. Part A: In reality‚ the individual electrons in a wire move very slowly through wires. A typical speed for an electron in a battery circuit is 5.0x10 to the -4th meters per second. How long does it take an electron moving at that speed to travel a wire 1.0
