  2. Ikeda map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikeda_map

    In physics and mathematics, the Ikeda map is a discrete-time dynamical system given by the complex map + = + (| | +) The original map was proposed first by Kensuke Ikeda as a model of light going around across a nonlinear optical resonator ( ring cavity containing a nonlinear dielectric medium) in a more general form.

  3. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    The trigonometric functions of angles that are multiples of 15°, 18°, or 22.5° have simple algebraic values. These values are listed in the following table for angles from 0° to 45°. [ 1 ] In the table below, the label "Undefined" represents a ratio 1 : 0. {\displaystyle 1:0.}

  4. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The most direct method is to truncate the Maclaurin series for each of the trigonometric functions. Depending on the order of the approximation , cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle \textstyle \cos \theta } is approximated as either 1 {\displaystyle 1} or as 1 − 1 2 θ 2 {\textstyle 1-{\frac {1}{2}}\theta ^{2}} .

  5. Law of cotangents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_cotangents

    Using the usual notations for a triangle (see the figure at the upper right), where a, b, c are the lengths of the three sides, A, B, C are the vertices opposite those three respective sides, α, β, γ are the corresponding angles at those vertices, s is the semiperimeter, that is, s = ⁠ a + b + c / 2 ⁠, and r is the radius of the inscribed circle, the law of cotangents states that

    Quadrant 3 (angles from 180 to 270 degrees, or π to 3π/2 radians): Tangent and cotangent functions are positive in this quadrant. Quadrant 4 (angles from 270 to 360 degrees, or 3π/2 to 2π radians): Cosine and secant functions are positive in this quadrant. Other mnemonics include: All Stations To Central [6] All Silly Tom Cats [6]

  7. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system specifies a given point in a plane by using a distance and an angle as its two coordinates. These are the point's distance from a reference point called the pole, and

  8. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    The six trigonometric functions are defined for every real number, except, for some of them, for angles that differ from 0 by a multiple of the right angle (90°). Referring to the diagram at the right, the six trigonometric functions of θ are, for angles smaller than the right angle:

  9. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    Elevation is 90 degrees (= ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ radians) minus inclination. Thus, if the inclination is 60 degrees (= ⁠ π / 3 ⁠ radians), then the elevation is 30 degrees (= ⁠ π / 6 ⁠ radians). In linear algebra , the vector from the origin O to the point P is often called the position vector of P .
