A trigonometric number is a number that can be expressed as the sine or cosine of a rational multiple of π radians. [2] Since sin ( x ) = cos ( x − π / 2 ) , {\displaystyle \sin(x)=\cos(x-\pi /2),} the case of a sine can be omitted from this definition.
In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1] Frequently, especially in trigonometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system in the Euclidean plane. In topology, it is often denoted as S 1 because it is a one-dimensional unit n-sphere ...

English: Some common angles (multiples of 30 and 45 degrees) and the corresponding sine and cosine values shown on the Unit circle. The angles (θ) are given in degrees and radians, together with the corresponding intersection point on the unit circle, (cos θ, sin θ).
A trigonometry table is essentially a reference chart that presents the values of sine, cosine, tangent, and other trigonometric functions for various angles. These angles are usually arranged across the top row of the table, while the different trigonometric functions are labeled in the first column on the left.

English: This is a graphical construction of the various trigonometric functions from a chord AD (angle θ) of the unit circle centered at O. In addition to the modern trigonometric functions sin (sine), cos (cosine), tan (tangent), cot (cotangent), sec (secant), and csc (cosecant), the diagram also includes a few trigonometric functions that have fallen into disuse: chord, versin (versine or ...
Mathematical tables are lists of numbers showing the results of a calculation with varying arguments.Trigonometric tables were used in ancient Greece and India for applications to astronomy and celestial navigation, and continued to be widely used until electronic calculators became cheap and plentiful in the 1970s, in order to simplify and drastically speed up computation.
