Trigonometrical functions

Series for the Trigonometric Functions. In the following formulas, all angles must be expressed in radians. If D = the number of degrees in the angle, and x = its radian measure, then x = 0.017453Z7. 

The frequency-dependent coefficients in this equation are given separate names and symbols to facilitate discussion. Remember it is these coefficients that determine the behavior of the system the trigonometric functions merely describe the oscillations. The following can be said of the coefficient of the cosine term ... 

The trigonometric functions of angles are the ratios between the various sides of the reference triangles shown in Fig. 3-39 for the various quadrants. Clearly r = /x + y > 0. The fundamental functions (see Figs. 3-40, 3-41, 3-42) are...

Some coordinate transformations are non-linear, like transforming Cartesian to polar coordinates, where the polar coordinates are given in terms of square root and trigonometric functions of the Cartesian coordinates. This for example allows the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom to be solved. Other transformations are linear, i.e. the new coordinate axes are linear combinations of the old coordinates. Such transfonnations can be used for reducing a matrix representation of an operator to a diagonal form. In the new coordinate system, the many-dimensional operator can be written as a sum of one-dimensional operators. 

The transformation from a set of Cartesian coordinates to a set of internal coordinates, wluch may for example be distances, angles and torsional angles, is an example of a non-linear transformation. The internal coordinates are connected with the Cartesian coordinates by means of square root and trigonometric functions, not simple linear combinations. A non-linear transformation will affect the convergence properties. This may be illustrate by considering a minimization of a Morse type function (eq. (2.5)) with D = a = ] and x = AR. 

The correct determination of/ depends largely on using the correct value of the eios angle. In light of the analysis of a coauthor [19], the value of 105 is equal to 105 35.8 . Assuming this 105 value and the occurrence of the unit cell proposed by Daubeny and Bunn [8], after calculation of values of trigonometric functions, the expression in Eq. (6) may be written in the form [19] ...

Legitimate operations on equations include addition of any quantity to both sides, multiplication by any quantity of both sides (unless this would result in division by zero), raising both sides to any positive power (if is used for even roots) and taking the logarithm or the trigonometric functions of both sides. 

The basic trigonometric functions are the sine, cosine, and tangent.

The hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, etc. of any number x are functions related to the exponential function e . Their definitions and properties are very similar to the trigonometric functions and are given in Table 1-5. 

Thus the original differential equation (6-90) of the second order has been replaced by the system (6-96) of two first order differential equations in terms of the amplitude a and the phase 9. Moreover, as Eqs. (6-96) contain the small factor (i on the right-hand side, the quantities, a and 9 are small, that is, both a and 9 are slowly varying functions of time and one can assume that during one period T = 2nfca, the trigonometric functions vary but slightly. 

Correspondingly, the parameter 1/8q tends to zero and we can expand the inverse trigonometric function tan 1/8q in the power series... 

The solutions to equation (2.34) are functions that are proportional to their second derivatives, namely sin(27rv/A) and cos(2jrjc/A). The functions exp[27riv/A] and exp[—27riv/A], which as equation (A.31) shows are equivalent to the trigonometric functions, are also solutions, but are more difficult to use for this system. Thus, the general solution to equation (2.34) is...
