                    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.

                    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.
