                        Trigonometric functions

                        Trigonometric functions started in the basic geometry of triangles, but now they comprise a complex field that's a central subject of calculus. Trigonometric functions have two modes of work: in degrees and in radians. See the Document settings section.

                        Trigonometric functions
                        Number pi This is useful when working with radians. π≈3.1416
                        Angle degree
                        Direct  
                        Sine, related to the side opposite the angle
                        Cosine, related to the side adjacent to the angle
                        Tangent, sin/cos
                        Reciprocal  
                        Cosecant, 1/sin
                        Secant, 1/cos
                        Cotangent, 1/tan
                        Inverse  
                        This is one of the many angles whose sine is the given number. It's the one in [-π/2,π/2].
                        This is one of the many angles whose cosine is the given number. It's the one in [0,π].
                        This is one of the many angles whose tangent is the given number. It's the one in (-π/2,π/2).

                        You can use the Simplify action to force non-trivial simplifications over trigonometric expressions. Moreover, the Verify action can test for trigonometric identities.
