The \PMlinkescapetext{word} {\em goniometric} (from Greek $\gamma\omega\nu${\em\'{i}}$\alpha$ ``angle'' and $\mu\varepsilon\tau\varrho\iota\kappa${\em\'{o}}$\varsigma$ ``measuring'') concerns the trigonometric functions and their mutual connections. There are a great amount of formulas involving these functions (usually for real arguments).
