... Deriving the sine or cosine of an arbitrary angle takes a bit more math than is covered here. ... Note first of all that a right-angled triangle contains two angles. ... Because the side opposite to A is the one adjacent to (90њ- A), it follows that the sine of one angle is the cosine of the other, and vice versa: . ... Consider the triangle PQR (drawing) with all three angles equal to 60њ. ... If we want the angle A to grow in equal steps of 15 o , we still need the sine and cosine of 15њ and 75њ. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
