Trigonometry includes 12 baisic functions. Sine, Cosine, and Tangent are the three most baisic. Each of those functions has a reciprocal. Cosine's reciprocal is Secant, Sine reciprocal is Cosecant, and Tangent's reciprocal is Cotangent. Each of those six functions has an inverse funcion called Inverse Sine, Cos etc... or Arcsine, Arcosine, Arcsecant, etc.... The shorthand for each function is sin, caos, tan, sec, csc, cot. The inverses have a -1 notation like sin-1.

What is the study of the meaurement of triangles and of trigonometric functions and their applications?
It is trigonometry.
Why do you need to study trigonometry?
Trigonometry is essential to the study of higher mathematics (calculus) and to the understanding of many scientific and engineering principles. Trigonometry and calculus can be used to model many shapes, motions, and functions in daily life.
What is the difference between calculus and trigonometry?
Calculus is the study of instantaneous and cumulitive growths of functions with respect to two or more variables. Trigonometry is the study of angles, specifically in triangles.
What is trigonometry's circular function?
The basic circular functions are sine, cosine and tangent. Then there are their reciprocals and inverses.
Topics need for trigonometry?
There are several topics under the broad category of trigonometry. * Angle measurements * Properties of angles and circles * Basic trigonometric functions and their reciprocals and co-functions * Graphs of trigonometric functions * Trigonometric identities * Angle addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions * Double and half angle formulas for trigonometric functions * Law of sines and law of cosines * Polar and polar imaginary coordinates.
