Abstract
Since the sine function is one of the most important elements of that phase of mathematics known as Trigonometry, it is only proper that we pause a moment for a short explanation of that subject. Trigonometry originated with the Greeks as the name itself implies. It was derived from the two Greek words trlgonon, meaning triangle; and metria, meaning measure. Trigonometry, then, dealt with problems related to measuring triangles.
