  APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY IN DAILY LIFE Trigonometry is one of the branches of mathematics which deals with the relationship between the sides of a triangle (right triangle) with its angles. There are 6 trigonometric functions for which the relation between sides and angles are defined. There are  six  trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent. These  six  trigonometric ratios are abbreviated as sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot. These are referred to as ratios since they can be expressed in terms of the sides of a right-angled triangle for a specific angle θ. One of the most important real-life applications of trigonometry is in the calculation of height and distance. Some of the sectors where the concepts of trigonometry are extensively used are aviation department, navigation, criminology, marine biology, etc. Trigonometry is a very different subject than most of the math we encounter in our lives previously, and it takes a...

MATHEMATICS Mathematics    has no generally accepted  definition . Mathematicians seek and use  patterns  to formulate new  conjectures ; they resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by  mathematical proof . When mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, mathematical reasoning can be used to provide insight or predictions about nature. Through the use of  abstraction  and  logic , mathematics developed from  counting ,  calculation ,  measurement , and the systematic study of the  shapes  and  motions  of  physical objects . Practical mathematics has been a human activity from as far back as  written records  exist. The  research  required to solve mathematical problems can take years or even centuries of sustained inquiry. Rigorous arguments  first appeared in  Greek mathematics , most notably in  Euclid 's  Elements ....
