Trigonometric Functions — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Trigonometric Functions for AIIMS Paramedical Mathematics.

Topics in Trigonometric Functions

1

Angles and Their Measurements

  • An angle is formed by the rotation of a ray about its initial position
  • Positive angles are measured anti-clockwise, negative angles clockwise
  • Two main systems: Degree measure (360° = one complete revolution) and Radian measure
2

Trigonometric Functions and Their Properties

  • Six trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant
  • Primary functions are sine, cosine, and tangent; others are reciprocals
  • Domain and range vary for different functions
3

Trigonometric Identities and Allied Angles

  • Allied angles have sum or difference as multiples of π/2
  • Functions of allied angles follow specific patterns based on quadrant
  • Co-function identities relate complementary angles
4

Addition and Subtraction Formulas

  • Addition formulas express trigonometric functions of sum/difference of angles
  • These are fundamental for deriving other identities
  • Double and triple angle formulas are special cases
