Introduction When we introduced the circular exponential, the trigonometric functions cosine and sine were defined as its real part and imaginary part. From this, we derived the analytical expressions: \(\cos x=\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (-1)^n\dfrac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}\) and...

From the complex exponential function, we can define a “circular exponential” function, which “wraps” the real line around the trigonometric circle, and makes it possible to rigorously define the cosine and sine trigonometric functions, which...

The trigonometric circle allows us to define the cosine, sine and tangent of an oriented angle, and to give an interpretation through Thales’ and Pythagoras’ theorems. Introduction: trigonometry and functions Trigonometry is the study of the relationships...
