    For example, the sine of angle θ is defined as being the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. 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°).

  3. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    The butterfly curve can be defined by parametric equations of x and y.. In mathematics, a parametric equation expresses several quantities, such as the coordinates of a point, as functions of one or several variables called parameters.

    Similar right triangles illustrating the tangent and secant trigonometric functions Trigonometric functions and their reciprocals on the unit circle. The Pythagorean theorem applied to the blue triangle shows the identity 1 + cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ, and applied to the red triangle shows that 1 + tan 2 θ = sec 2 θ.

    Let u, v, and w denote the unit vectors from the center of the sphere to those corners of the triangle. We have u · u = 1, v · w = cos c, u · v = cos a, and u · w = cos b.The vectors u × v and u × w have lengths sin a and sin b respectively and the angle between them is C, so ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ = () = () () = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡

  6. Theta graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_graph

    In computational geometry, the Theta graph, or -graph, is a type of geometric spanner similar to a Yao graph. The basic method of construction involves partitioning the space around each vertex into a set of cones , which themselves partition the remaining vertices of the graph.

  7. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    But / = is not a constructible angle, since = is not the product of distinct Fermat primes as it contains 3 as a factor twice, and neither is /, since 7 is not a Fermat prime. [ 8 ] It results from the above characterisation that an angle of an integer number of degrees is constructible if and only if this number of degrees is a multiple of 3 .

  8. Theta characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_characteristic

    In mathematics, a theta characteristic of a non-singular algebraic curve C is a divisor class Θ such that 2Θ is the canonical class. In terms of holomorphic line bundles L on a connected compact Riemann surface , it is therefore L such that L 2 is the canonical bundle , here also equivalently the holomorphic cotangent bundle .

  9. 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.
