HAMDEN -- With this teacher, trigonometry is as easy as one, two, three, four, five. Since 2002, students who have taken Kathryn Gniadek's advanced mathematics classes at Sacred Heart Academy have ...

Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Trigonometry is found all throughout geometry, as every straight-sided shape may be broken ...

Trigonometry allows one to systematically convert between measurements of angles and measurements of length, a topic that has interested mathematical astronomers from antiquity. Ancient Greeks also ...
