Our primary applications of trigonometry Our primary applications of trigonometry so far have been computational. We so far have been computational. We have not made full use of the properties have not made full use of the properties of the functions to study the connections of the functions to study the connections among the trigonometric functions among the trigonometric functions themselves. We will now shift our themselves. We will now shift our emphasis more toward theory and proof, emphasis more toward theory and proof, exploring where the properties of these exploring where the properties of these special functions lead us, often with no special functions lead us, often with no immediate concern for real-world immediate concern for real-world relevance at all. Hopefully in the process relevance at all. Hopefully in the process you will gain an appreciation for the rich you will gain an appreciation for the rich and intricate tapestry of interlocking and intricate tapestry of interlocking patterns that can be woven from the six patterns that can be woven from the six basic trig functions – patterns that will basic trig functions – patterns that will take on even greater beauty later on take on even greater beauty later on when you can view them through the when you can view them through the lens of calculus.lens of calculus.
