What are some applications of trigonometry in daily life?

Mathematics is a subject that is vital for gaining a better perspective on events that occur in the natural world. A keen aptitude for math improves critical thinking and promotes problem-solving abilities. One specific area of mathematical and geometrical reasoning is trigonometry which studies the properties of triangles. Now it's true that triangles are one of the simplest geometrical figures, yet they have varied applications. The primary application of trigonometry is found in scientific studies where precise distances need to be measured. The techniques in trigonometry are used for finding relevance in navigation particularly satellite systems and astronomy, naval and aviation industries, oceanography, land surveying, and in cartography (creation of maps). Now those are the scientific applications of the concepts in trigonometry, but most of the math we study would seem (on the surface) to have little real-life application. So is trigonometry really relevant in your day to day activities? You bet it is. Let's explore areas where this science finds use in our daily activities and how we can use this to resolve problems we might encounter. Although it is unlikely that one will ever need to directly apply a trigonometric function in solving a practical issue, the fundamental background of the science finds usage in an area which is passion for many - music! As you may be aware sound travels in waves and this pattern though not as regular as a sine or cosine function, is still useful in developing computer music. A computer cannot obviously listen to and comprehend music as we do, so computers represent it mathematically by its constituent sound waves. And this means that sound engineers and technologists who research advances in computer music and even hi-tech music composers have to relate to the basic laws of trigonometry.

In story The Inevitable Day who is Pythagoras?

Pythagoras made the "Pythagorean Theorem".And He is a Mathematician. I remember it is not specified on the piece.


What is the importance of the 2nd of July?

This day is the midpoint of a common year because there are 182 days before and 182 days after it.


Can you take codeine and tramodol?

Codiene is an actual opiate, used for moderate pain control, and as an antitussive. Tramadol is a synthetic opioid and analgesic, used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain. Both are mildly addictive.What I've gathered it not wise to take together unless if prescribed low dosage. I received my meds from the VA Clinic, but I really don't trust my Doc since I told her That while in the service I was taking Paxil. Which is a no no when prescribing Tramadol.I'm currently taking 50mg Tramadol 2x a day and codeine30/Acetaminophen 300mg 3x a day and Gabopentin (nero-blocker which I hate)Taking 2 opioid drugs should be avoided. This multiplies the additive side effects, without a real "double efficiency". Moreover, you accumulate metabolites from the both drugs.If needed, your doctor must consider to higher doses instead of using another opioid.Occasional use (e.g. in Tylenol no 3) for migraine or additional pain (from another source) doesn't cause problem as long as you use it conscientiously.
