TRIGONOMETRY
Trigonometry is derived from Greek words trigonon (three angles) and metron (measure).
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which deal with triangles, particularly triangles in a plane where one angle of the triangle is 90 degrees.
HISTORY
The origins of trigonometry can be traced to the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, more than 4000 years ago.
Some experts believe that trigonometry was originally invented to calculate sundials, a traditional exercise in the oldest books.
The first recorded use trigonometry came from the Hellenistic mathematician Hipparchus circa 150 BC, who compiled a trigonometric table using the sine for solving triangles.
The Sulba Sutras written in India, between 800 BC and 500 BC, correctly compute 1 the sine of (45o) as in a procedure for circling the square (the opposite of 2 4 squaring the circle) Many ancient mathematics like Aryabhata, Brahmagupa, Ibn Yunus and Al-Kashi made significant contributions mad in this field (trigonometry)
