                      Trigonometric functions

                      Reading time: 1min

                      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.
