This circle has the centre at the origin and a radius of 1 unit. The point P can move around the circumference of the circle. At point P the \(x\)-coordinate is \(\cos{\theta}\) and the ...

The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of ...

Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting. When you ...

TODHUNTER's “Trigonometry” is a very familiar friend of ours, and we have now before us a bundle of letters which we received from the author in 1861 and 1862, in reply to our criticisms and ...
