An important contribution by Menelaus of Alexandria was his works on geodesics.
hipparchus
well, nothing is for sure but it is said that Hipparchus, a Greek geographer. its kind of odd though. but they say that they have evidence of his systematic use of trigonometry. Also Menelaus and Ptolomy helped in the development of trigonometry.
There is no Contribution of Thales in the field of trignometry.........
Centuries ago, Islam created the mathematics of 'Trigonometry'.

He introduced coordinated geometry

spherical and plane trigonometry? :p
Centuries ago, Islam created the mathematics 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.
Thales, Democritus, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Archimedes, Euclid, Erastosthenes, Hipparchus,
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".
According to Math experts, Hipparchus, Menelaus, and Ptolemy are responsible for developing Greek trigonometry for the purposes of studying differences in shapes of the planets, sun and moon. By observing the shapes of each, they were able to determine the ratios and areas of each one.
