According to recent (August 2017) research by the University of New South Wales, it was an unknown mathematician (or mathematicians) in Babylon. They produced a tablet, known as Plimpton 322, which contains tables of trig ration. This was some 1500 years before the Greek astronomer Hipparchus who, until now, was regarded the father of trigonometry.
