If you take a circle and pull it out into a spiral or helix, the projection of that helix is a sine wave from one direction, and a cosine wave from the other. A vibrating guitar string is a sine wave.

His latest post doesn’t disappoint and shows how he uses the CORDIC algorithm to generate very precise sine and cosine waves in VHDL. CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer; sometimes ...

In an astonishing breakthrough, two young students from Louisiana have done what many thought was impossible: proving ...

The trigonometric ratios sine, cosine and tangent are used to calculate angles and sides in right angled triangles. We are now going to extend trigonometry beyond right angled triangles and use it ...

The effects of amplitude and wave-length of cosine wave on its mechanical characteristics are ... Study on problems about contact of cylinder sine oscillating tooth transmission. Min Process Equip ...

So kudos to [watson] for actually doing the coding. His monster drift project starts with the basics — sine and cosine waves of the right frequency — and combines them in just the right ...
