  2. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  3. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    [1] [2] One reason for this is that they can greatly simplify differential equations that do not need to be answered with absolute precision. There are a number of ways to demonstrate the validity of the small-angle approximations. The most direct method is to truncate the Maclaurin series for each of the trigonometric functions.

  4. Bhāskara I's sine approximation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhāskara_I's_sine...

    A little experimentation (or by setting up and solving two linear equations in a and b) will yield the values a = 5/4, b = −1/4. These give Bhāskara I's sine approximation formula. [4] Karel Stroethoff (2014) offers a similar, but simpler argument for Bhāskara I's choice.

  5. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  7. cis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis_(mathematics)

    cis is a mathematical notation defined by cis x = cos x + i sin x, [nb 1] where cos is the cosine function, i is the imaginary unit and sin is the sine function. x is the argument of the complex number (angle between line to point and x-axis in polar form).

  8. Trigonometric substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_substitution

    Trigonometric identities may help simplify the answer. [1] [2] Like other methods of integration by substitution, when evaluating a definite integral, it may be simpler to completely deduce the antiderivative before applying the boundaries of integration.

  9. Trigonometric tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_tables

    The values for a/b·2π can be found by applying de Moivre's identity for n = a to a b th root of unity, which is also a root of the polynomial x b - 1 in the complex plane. For example, the cosine and sine of 2π ⋅ 5/37 are the real and imaginary parts , respectively, of the 5th power of the 37th root of unity cos(2π/37) + sin(2π/37)i ...
