Trigonometry

Trigonometry (from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon) 'triangle',


and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') is a branch of mathematics concerned with
relationships between angles and side lengths of triangles. In particular,
the trigonometric functions relate the angles of a right triangle with ratios of its
side lengths. The field emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd century BC
from applications of geometry to astronomical studies. The Greeks focused on
the calculation of chords, while mathematicians in India created the earliest-
known tables of values for trigonometric ratios (also called trigonometric
functions).
The trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan).
