Hipparchus was recognized as the first mathematician known to have possessed a trigonometric table, which he needed when computing the eccentricity of the orbits of the Moon and Sun. He tabulated values for the chord function, which gives the length of the chord for each angle. He did this for a circle with a circumference of 21600 and a radius (rounded) of 3438 units: this circle has a unit length of 1 arc minute along its perimeter. He tabulated the chords for angles with increments of 7.5°.

What is the contribution of batholomaeus pitiscus in trigonometry?
Bartholomaeus Pitiscus is best known for his book called Trigonometria which was first published in Heidelburg in 1595. It consists of work on plane and spherical trigonometry. The book had the first recorded mention of the word "trigonometry".
What did Pythagoras contribute to trigonometry?
One major contribution was that of the Pythagorean Theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
