trigonometry
nounThe branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles and the calculations based on them, particularly the trigonometric functions.
nounThe mathematical doctrine of the calculation of the angles, sides, and areas of triangles, plane and spherical, together with that of other quantities intimately related to those. Trigonometry embraces also goniometry, or the elementary theory of singly periodic functions.
nounThat branch of mathematics which treats of the relations of the sides and angles of triangles, which the methods of deducing from certain given parts other required parts, and also of the general relations which exist between the trigonometrical functions of arcs or angles.
nounA treatise in this science.
nounthat branch of trigonometry which treats of the relations and properties of the trigonometrical functions.
nounthose branches of trigonometry in which its principles are applied to plane triangles and spherical triangles respectively.
