The trigonometric functions calculator ƒ(π) is a useful mathematical tool for evaluating sine, cosine, tangent and their inverse functions at different multiples of π. It allows exploring trigonometry concepts visually using the unique properties of pi.
Concept
The calculator generates values of trig functions at:
0, π/6, π/4, π/3, π/2, 2π/3, 3π/4, 5π/6, π, 7π/6, etc.
It implements the trigonometric circle definitions:
sin θ = y-coordinate on unit circle cos θ = x-coordinate on unit circle tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
Plotting the functional values around the trig circle provides insights into periodicity and symmetry.
