In mathematics, a trigonometric number〔 is an irrational number produced by taking the sine or cosine of a rational multiple of a circle, or equivalently, the sine or cosine in radians of a rational multiple of ''π'', or the sine or cosine of a rational number of degrees. Ivan Niven gave proofs of theorems regarding these numbers.〔Niven, Ivan. ''Numbers: Rational and Irrational'', 1961.〕〔Niven, Ivan. ''Irrational Numbers'', Carus Mathematical Monographs no. 11, 1956.〕 Li Zhou and Lubomir Markov〔 http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.1933〕 recently improved and simplified Niven's proofs. Any trigonometric number can be expressed in terms of radicals.〔Weisstein, Eric W. "Trigonometry Angles." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TrigonometryAngles.html〕 For example, : Thus every trigonometric number is an algebraic number. This latter statement can be proved〔 by starting with the statement of de Moivre's formula for the case of for coprime ''k'' and ''n'': : Expanding the left side and equating real parts gives an equation in and substituting gives a polynomial equation having as a solution, so by definition the latter is an algebraic number. Also is algebraic since it equals the algebraic number Finally, where again is a rational multiple of is algebraic as can be seen by equating the imaginary parts of the expansion of the de Moivre equation and dividing through by to obtain a polynomial equation in == See also == * Exact trigonometric constants * Niven's theorem 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「trigonometric number」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
