  1. How to best explain sine and cosine on the unit circle

    Jun 4, 2025 · 2 I just recently did a project on the unit circle and the three main trig functions (sine, cosine, tangent) for my geometry class, and in it I was asked to provide an explanation for why sine …

  2. calculus - Trigonometric functions and the unit circle - Mathematics ...

    Aug 27, 2022 · Since the circumference of the unit circle happens to be $ (2\pi)$, and since (in Analytical Geometry or Trigonometry) this translates to $ (360^\circ)$, students new to Calculus are taught …

  3. Tips for understanding the unit circle - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Nov 21, 2012 · By "unit circle", I mean a certain conceptual framework for many important trig facts and properties, NOT a big circle drawn on a sheet of paper that has angles labeled with degree …

  4. How does $e^ {i x}$ produce rotation around the imaginary unit circle?

    Time is point rotation in a circle. There are 2 other circles and 2 other point rotations around those circles that are all mutually perpendicular to each other, therefore separate dimensions.

  5. general topology - Why do we denote $S^1$ for the the unit circle and ...

    Maybe a quite easy question. Why is $S^1$ the unit circle and $S^2$ is the unit sphere? Also why is $S^1\\times S^1$ a torus? It does not seem that they have anything ...

  6. trigonometry - In the unit circle, how are sine and cosine values ...

    Nov 23, 2016 · I do understand that the unit circle has a radius of 1 and sides of triangles made within it must pertain to the pythagorean theorem (hence these values with radicals, for accuracy), but that is …

  7. Notation of a Unit Circle: Does $S^1$ only mean a unit circle? Or does ...

    Jul 21, 2019 · It so happens that the 1-dimensional sphere and the 1-dimensional torus are both the same object, namely a circle, and that the group of rotations of $\mathbb {R}^2$ can also be …

  8. Show that unit circle is not homeomorphic to the real line

    May 12, 2018 · Show that unit circle is not homeomorphic to the real line Ask Question Asked 7 years, 7 months ago Modified 6 years, 2 months ago

  9. Unit Circle - Overview - Numerade

    In mathematics, the unit circle is a circle with a radius of one. Frequently, especially in trigonometry and geometry, the unit circle is the circle of radius one centered at the origin (0,0) in the Cartesian …

  10. How does e, or the exponential function, relate to rotation?

    First, assume the Unit Circle Parameter is Time in Seconds. The essential idea is that in order for a Radius of Length 1 to move 1 Arc Length in 1 Second it is required to have a Velocity of 1, …
