Trigonometry

The point P (x, y) = (cost, sint) lies on the unit circle (the circle centered at the origin with radius 1). Here t is the angle shown. The line joining the origin to P has the equation y = (sint/cost) x, or y = (tant) x. Consequently, when x=1, y = tant. So the distance AB is tant. What happens to this distance as the point moves around the circle, that is, as t is increased?

SURV102 Computational Methods in Surveying

Second Semester, 18 points

Paper details


A study of the computational techniques necessary for surveying, including statistics, trigonometry, mechanics, and basic programming.

See Surveying page.

Internal assessment

For the Mathematics and Statistics parts there will be 7 assignments and 1 mastery test, with equal weighting.

While we strive to keep details as accurate and up-to-date as possible, information given here should be regarded as provisional. Individual lecturers will confirm teaching and assessment methods.
