  2. Divine Proportions: Rational Trigonometry to Universal Geometry

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Proportions:...

    Divine Proportions does not assume much in the way of mathematical background in its readers, but its many long formulas, frequent consideration of finite fields, and (after part I) emphasis on mathematical rigour are likely to be obstacles to a popular mathematics audience. Instead, it is mainly written for mathematics teachers and researchers.

  3. Snellius–Pothenot problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snellius–Pothenot_problem

    In trigonometry, the Snellius–Pothenot problem is a problem first described in the context of planar surveying.Given three known points A, B, C, an observer at an unknown point P observes that the line segment AC subtends an angle α and the segment CB subtends an angle β; the problem is to determine the position of the point P.

  4. Talk:Divine Proportions: Rational Trigonometry to Universal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Divine_Proportions:...

    Having attending several of Norman Wildeberger's talks, the rationale behind rational trigonometry is that the concept of an angle belongs to a circle (ie, Euler's formula), and that the concept of spread is far more natural for a triangle (c.f. Thales' theorem). Angles and distance also break down in fields other than the real numbers, whereas ...

  6. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    As discussed in § Constructibility, only certain angles that are rational multiples of radians have trigonometric values that can be expressed with square roots. The angle 1°, being π / 180 = π / ( 2 2 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 5 ) {\displaystyle \pi /180=\pi /(2^{2}\cdot 3^{2}\cdot 5)} radians, has a repeated factor of 3 in the denominator and therefore ...

  8. Rule of twelfths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_twelfths

    The rule states that over the first period the quantity increases by 1/12. Then in the second period by 2/12, in the third by 3/12, in the fourth by 3/12, fifth by 2/12 and at the end of the sixth period reaches its maximum with an increase of 1/12.

  9. Versine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versine

    Even with a calculator or computer, round-off errors make it advisable to use the sin 2 formula for small θ. Another historical advantage of the versine is that it is always non-negative, so its logarithm is defined everywhere except for the single angle ( θ = 0, 2 π , …) where it is zero—thus, one could use logarithmic tables for ...
