Wikipedia has no reference of Democritus' contribution to Trig. He contributed to Atomic theory, and to Geometry. Some Geometry and Trig. topics overlap, so maybe that is what you are referring to.

What year did leucippus and democritus make their contribution?

Leucippus and Democritus, ancient Greek philosophers, made their contributions to atomic theory around the 5th century BCE. Leucippus is often credited with originating the concept of the atom, while Democritus expanded on these ideas and is known for developing a more comprehensive atomic theory. Their work laid the groundwork for later scientific thought regarding the nature of matter.

What is the difference between Dalton's atomic theory and Democritus' atomic theory?

When an ancient Greek asked if an object could be subdivided indefinitely, some said yes and some said no. Neither side had any physical evidence for their point of view, nor did they seek any. The only contribution to modern science, apart from the question itself, was the word atomos (indivisible) that Democritus used in the debate. John Dalton made a contribution of a quite different order. He said that matter did consist of atoms; he said that all atoms of the same element were identical atoms with the same mass. He cited physical (that includes chemical) evidence to support his assertions. Dalton said more about atoms, but all based on evidence, rather than opinion. Democritus's theory was philosophy. Dalton's was science as we understand it today.

What is the contribution of ptolemy in the field of trigonometry?

Ptolemy's major contribution to trigonometry was his work on chords in a circle, which led to the development of the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent. He compiled a table of chords that facilitated trigonometric calculations and navigational measurements. Ptolemy's work influenced the development of trigonometry in the medieval Islamic world and later in Europe.
