1 Morgan Foster Trigonometry Project

2 What is Trigonometry? Trigonometry is a branch of mathematicians that studies triangles and the relationships between their sides. This evolved as a branch of studies but extended for astronomical studies. Trigonometry basics are often taught in schools as a course or a pre calculus course.

3 When/Wheredid trigonometry originate?
Trigonometry is associated with astronomers and mathematicians. The name came from a man of the name B. Pitiscus witch is trigons (triangles). Ancient greeks introduced tragicomic functions.

4 Is one mathematician responsible? Or many?
Some people credited with the creation of trigonometry are Isaac Newton- gravity James Stirling- architect Leonhard Euler- Swiss mathematician

5 World applications Digital imaging-it takes sound waves of trigonometry to help the computer understand. Architecture-important for getting the curvature of buildings. Navigation-when pilots take off from air[orts they need to know the angle you go. Astronomy-used to calculate the distance between stars.

6 3 triginomic functions. Sine (sin)- opposite/hopotenuse
Cosine (cos)- adjacent/hopotenuse Tangent (tan)- opposite/adjacent Cotangent (cot(cotan or cotg or ctg or ctn)- adjacent/opposite Secant (sec)- hypotenuse/adjacent Cosecant (csc or cosec)- hypotenuse/opposite They are related because they uses the same ratios. They also sound the same.

8 Ideas!  MAKE FOOD!  You can bake an item and relate it to trigonometry in some way.

9 Unit Circle… The unit circle incorporates the sin, tan, and cos ratios into certain quadrants of a circle. Circles and triangles are related because they both use functions and ratios to find the solution.
