Trigonometry Before Calculators. Often used to answer astronomical questions, trigonometry was a major focus in ancient mathematics. How did mathematicians calculate or estimate trigonometric values in this time? What valuable lessons can we take from their investigations for today's classroom? And how exactly do our calculating devices estimate/find trigonometric values? Open to all students, faculty, and community members. For any questions or accommodations, please email [email protected]
