Trigonometric Functions
Trigonometric Functions This worksheet covers the basic characteristics of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant trigonometric functions. Sine Function: f(x) = sin (x) • Graph • Domain: all real numbers • Range: [-1 , 1] • Period = 2π • x intercepts: x = kπ , where k is an integer. • y intercepts: y = 0 • Maximum points: (π/2 + 2kπ, 1), where k is an integer. • Minimum points: (3π/2 + 2kπ, -1), where k is an integer. • Symmetry: since sin (–x) = –sin (x) then sin(x) is an odd function and its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin (0, 0). • Intervals of increase/decrease: over one period and from 0 to 2π, sin (x) is increasing on the intervals (0, π/2) and (3π/2 , 2π), and decreasing on the interval (π/2 , 3π/2). Tutoring and Learning Centre, George Brown College 2014 www.georgebrown.ca/tlc Trigonometric Functions Cosine Function: f(x) = cos (x) • Graph • Domain: all real numbers • Range: [–1 , 1] • Period = 2π • x intercepts: x = π/2 + k π , where k is an integer. • y intercepts: y = 1 • Maximum points: (2 k π , 1) , where k is an integer. • Minimum points: (π + 2 k π , –1) , where k is an integer. • Symmetry: since cos(–x) = cos(x) then cos (x) is an even function and its graph is symmetric with respect to the y axis. • Intervals of increase/decrease: over one period and from 0 to 2π, cos (x) is decreasing on (0 , π) increasing on (π , 2π).

Lecture 5: Complex Logarithm and Trigonometric Functions
LECTURE 5: COMPLEX LOGARITHM AND TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Let C∗ = C \{0}. Recall that exp : C → C∗ is surjective (onto), that is, given w ∈ C∗ with w = ρ(cos φ + i sin φ), ρ = |w|, φ = Arg w we have ez = w where z = ln ρ + iφ (ln stands for the real log) Since exponential is not injective (one one) it does not make sense to talk about the inverse of this function. However, we also know that exp : H → C∗ is bijective. So, what is the inverse of this function? Well, that is the logarithm. We start with a general definition Definition 1. For z ∈ C∗ we define log z = ln |z| + i argz. Here ln |z| stands for the real logarithm of |z|. Since argz = Argz + 2kπ, k ∈ Z it follows that log z is not well defined as a function (it is multivalued), which is something we find difficult to handle. It is time for another definition. Definition 2. For z ∈ C∗ the principal value of the logarithm is defined as Log z = ln |z| + i Argz. Thus the connection between the two definitions is Log z + 2kπ = log z for some k ∈ Z. Also note that Log : C∗ → H is well defined (now it is single valued). Remark: We have the following observations to make, (1) If z 6= 0 then eLog z = eln |z|+i Argz = z (What about Log (ez)?). (2) Suppose x is a positive real number then Log x = ln x + i Argx = ln x (for positive real numbers we do not get anything new). -

For many mathematicians, a certain characteristic about an area of mathematics will lure him/her to study that area further. That characteristic might be an interesting conclusion, an intricate implication, or an appreciation of the impact that the area has upon mathematics. The particular area that we will be exploring is Euler's Formula, eix = cos x + i sin x, and as a result, Euler's Identity, eiπ + 1 = 0. Throughout this paper, we will develop an appreciation for Euler's Formula as it combines the seemingly unrelated exponential functions, imaginary numbers, and trigonometric functions into a single formula. To appreciate and further understand Euler's Formula, we will give attention to the individual aspects of the formula, and develop the necessary tools to prove it. -

Generating Highly Accurate Values for All Trigonometric Functions
GENERATING HIGHLY ACCURATE VALUES FOR ALL TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS INTRODUCTION: Although hand calculators and electronic computers have pretty much eliminated the need for trigonometric tables starting about sixty years ago, this was not the case back during WWII when highly accurate trigonometric tables were vital for the calculation of projectile trajectories. At that time a good deal of the war effort in mathematics was devoted to building ever more accurate trig tables some ranging up to twenty digit numerical accuracy. Today such efforts can be considered to have been a waste of time, although they were not so at the time. It is our purpose in this note to demonstrate a new approach for quickly obtaining values for all trigonometric functions exceeding anything your hand calculator can achieve. BASIC TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS: We begin by defining all six basic trigonometric functions by looking at the following right triangle- The sides a,b, and c of this triangle satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem- a2+b2=c2 we define the six trig functions in terms of this triangle as- sin()=b/c cos( )=a/c tan()=b/a csc()=c/b sec()=c/a) cot()=b/a From Pythagorous we also have at once that – 1 sin( )2 cos( )2 1 and [1 tan( )2 ] . cos( )2 It was the ancient Egyptian pyramid builders who first realized that the most important of these trigonometric functions is tan(). Their measure of this tangent was given in terms of sekels, where 1 sekhel=7. Converting each of the above trig functions into functions of tan() yields- tan( ) 1 sin( ) cos( ) tan( ) tan( ) 1 tan( )2 1 tan( )2 1 tan( )2 1 csc( ) sec( ) 1 tan( )2 cot( ) tan( ) tan( ) In using these equivalent definitions one must be careful of signs and infinities appearing in the approximations to tan(). -
Trigonometry and Spherical Astronomy 1. Sines and Chords
CHAPTER TWO TRIGONOMETRY AND SPHERICAL ASTRONOMY 1. Sines and Chords In Almagest I.11 Ptolemy displayed a table of chords, the construction of which is explained in the previous chapter. The chord of a central angle α in a circle is the segment subtended by that angle α. If the radius of the circle (the “norm” of the table) is taken as 60 units, the chord can be expressed by means of the modern sine function: crd α = 120 · sin (α/2). In Ptolemy’s table (Toomer 1984, pp. 57–60), the argument, α, is given at intervals of ½° from ½° to 180°. Columns II and III display the chord, in units, minutes, and seconds of a unit, and the increase, in the same units, in crd α corresponding to an increase of one minute in α, computed by taking 1/30 of the difference between successive entries in column II (Aaboe 1964, pp. 101–125). For an insightful account on Ptolemy’s chord table, see Van Brummelen 2009, where many issues underlying the tables for trigonometry and spherical astronomy are addressed. By contrast, al-Khwārizmī’s zij originally had a table of sines for integer degrees with a norm of 150 (Neugebauer 1962a, p. 104) that has uniquely survived in manuscripts associated with the Toledan Tables (Toomer 1968, p. 27; F. S. Pedersen 2002, pp. 946–952). The corresponding table in al-Battānī’s zij displays the sine of the argu- ment at intervals of ½° with a norm of 60 (Nallino 1903–1907, 2:55– 56). This table is reproduced, essentially unchanged, in the Toledan Tables (Toomer 1968, p. -

RAILWAY CURVES March 2010 (Corrected & Reprinted : November 2018) INDIAN RAILWAYS INSTITUTE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING PUNE - 411 001 i ii Foreword to the corrected and updated version The book on Railway Curves was originally published in March 2010 by Shri V B Sood, the then professor, IRICEN and reprinted in September 2013. The book has been again now corrected and updated as per latest correction slips on various provisions of IRPWM and IRTMM by Shri V B Sood, Chief General Manager (Civil) IRSDC, Delhi, Shri R K Bajpai, Sr Professor, Track-2, and Shri Anil Choudhary, Sr Professor, Track, IRICEN. I hope that the book will be found useful by the field engineers involved in laying and maintenance of curves. Pune Ajay Goyal November 2018 Director IRICEN, Pune iii PREFACE In an attempt to reach out to all the railway engineers including supervisors, IRICEN has been endeavouring to bring out technical books and monograms. This book “Railway Curves” is an attempt in that direction. The earlier two books on this subject, viz. “Speed on Curves” and “Improving Running on Curves” were very well received and several editions of the same have been published. The “Railway Curves” compiles updated material of the above two publications and additional new topics on Setting out of Curves, Computer Program for Realignment of Curves, Curves with Obligatory Points and Turnouts on Curves, with several solved examples to make the book much more useful to the field and design engineer. It is hoped that all the P.way men will find this book a useful source of design, laying out, maintenance, upgradation of the railway curves and tackling various problems of general and specific nature.
