    In Indian astronomy, the study of trigonometric functions flourished in the Gupta period, especially due to Aryabhata (sixth century CE), who discovered the sine function. The first actual appearance of the sine of an angel appears in the work of the Hindus. Aryabhata, in about 500, gave tables of half chords which now really are sine tables and used jya for our sin.

    In today's Indian high school mathematics books, we still have the word 'jya' but it means chord of a circle now

    • @anshumantripathi2127
      @anshumantripathi2127 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Chord is 'Jiva' or ' जीवा ' not 'jya'.
      किसी भी वृत्त में व्यास, सबसे बड़ी जीवा होती है ।
      Diameter is the longest chord in a circle.
      As said in video,
      Jya or ' ज्या ' is 'sine'
      Cojya or कोज्या is 'cosine'
      Hope it will clarify your confusion !

    Thank you for your content
    But I have a question:
    When I saw these identities:
    co sine(x)=sine(90-x)
    co tangent(x)=tangent(90-x)
    co secant(x)=secant(90-x)
    I expected that the (co) is the first two letters of the word (complementary angle)
    So is this correct?
    I saw this in wikipedia so if someone who knows that this is wrong and he has sources, then please edit this wikipedia page

      Can you provide some evidence or source reference to back up your claim? Can you provide reference that chords were not known in India.
      For example, one counterpoint I can think of is that the usage of chords/ropes/strings were universally to measure lengths of shape - squares, triangles, circles etc. in the ancient world and still today (nowadays it is more generally known as measuring tape).
