to give the basics for astronomy, distance calculation etc
Spherical trigonometry is important because the Earth is a sphere, not a plane, so if you wanted to get the distance between one point on Earth and another, plane trigonometry wouldn't give you the right answer. Plane trigonometry can be used to find the height of something without having to climb it, such as a flagpole or skyscraper. Trigonometry, whether spherical or planar, is used in engineering to design buildings, cars, ships, and planes. It is used in physics to calculate the properties of electric and magnetic fields. It is used in navigation, and projectile motion. It is also used in the design of musical chords and instruments, as well as lenses and optics.
If I give you a 600mL of medicine for 2 adults and 1 child. The child takes 37% of the adult dosage. What are the doses? .....yes, you need algebra. If I got a beaker that is 12 mm high and the mouth opening is 2mm wide, and I ask you to give me a 41.4 cubic mm of a solution, ......yes, you will need trigonometry.
A mathematical method is a group of steps taken that will always give you a correct formula, in every scenario. Mathematical methods are found everywhere including algebra, geometry, calculus and in almost all other fields of math.
