Some key contributors to the development of trigonometry include ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians and Egyptians, who used rudimentary trigonometric concepts for practical purposes. The Greek mathematician Hipparchus is often credited with formalizing the field of trigonometry, introducing the trigonometric functions and developing the earliest trigonometric tables. Later, Islamic mathematicians such as Al-Battani and Al-Khwarizmi made significant advancements in trigonometry, further expanding its applications in astronomy, geography, and mathematics. These early pioneers laid the foundation for the modern study and application of trigonometry in various fields.
He made his observations with very simple instruments, using an ordinary plumb-line to measure the angles of elevation of the stars. He also introduced a mathematical innovation by using Hindu-Arabic numerals in his sine tables, the first transition from the duodecimal to the decimal system.
Georg Joachim, also known as Rheticus(February 16,1514 -December 4,1574), was a mathematician, cartographer, navigational-instrument maker, medical practitioner, and teacher. He is perhaps best known for his trigonometrc tables and as Nicolaus Copernicus's sole pupil. He facilitated the publication of his master's De revolutionibusorbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres).
Georg Joachim Rheticus was born on 1514-02-16.
Georg Joachim Rheticus died on 1574-12-04.

Rheticus had facilitated the publication of Copernicus' work, and had clearly understood the basic principles of the new planetary theory. In 1551, with the help of six assistants, Rheticus recalculated and produced the Opus Palatinum de Triangulis (Canon of the Science of Triangles) which became the first publication of tables of all six trigonometric functions. This was intended to be an introduction to his greatest work, The Science of Triangles. When he died his work was still unfinished, but like Copernicus, Rheticus acquired a student, Valentinus Otho who supervised the calculation (by hand) of some one hundred thousand ratios to at least ten decimal places filling some 1,500 pages. This was finally completed in 1596. These tables were accurate enough to be used as the basis for astronomical calculations up to the early 20th century.
