'''Trigonometric functions''' are mathematical [[function]]s which were traditionally derived from [[trigonometry]], the study of the [[triangle]]. Many of these functions have been extended in definition beyond the [[real number]]s to the [[complex plane]] using [[analytic extension]] ([[Taylor series]]). The most basic trigonometric functions are:
*[[sine]]
*[[cosine]]
*[[tangent]]
*[[cotangent]]
*[[secant]]
*[[cosecant]]
as well as their [[inverse]]s:
*[[arcsine]]
*[[arccosine]]
*[[arctangent]]
*[[arccotangent]]
*[[arcsecant]]
*[[arccosecant]]
Variants of these functions form the [[hyperbolic function]]s.
