Definition of Triganometry
Trig`o*nom"e*try (?), n.; pl.
-tries (#). [Gr. &?; a triangle + -metry: cf. F.
trigonométrie. See Trigon.] 1.
That branch of mathematics which treats of the relations of the sides
and angles of triangles, which the methods of deducing from certain given
parts other required parts, and also of the general relations which exist
between the trigonometrical functions of arcs or angles.
2. A treatise in this science.
Analytical trigonometry, that branch of
trigonometry which treats of the relations and properties of the
trigonometrical functions. -- Plane trigonometry,
and Spherical trigonometry, those branches of
trigonometry in which its principles are applied to plane triangles and
spherical triangles respectively.
