Definitions

  1. the mathematics of triangles and trigonometric functions

Word origin

From 1610s, from New Latin trigōnometria, from Ancient Greek τρίγωνον (trígōnon, “triangle”) + μέτρον (métron, “measure”), equivalent to trigono- + -metry.

Used in a sentence

  • Historically, trigonometry has been applied in areas such as geodesy, surveying, celestial mechanics and navigation.
  • In fact, the earliest practical uses of trigonometry were in the fields of astronomy and hence navigation.
  • The properties of these new trigonometries and identities flowing from the definitions are then developed. The trigonometries derived from these generalizations will be jointly termed "The Fractional Trigonometry."
