Geocache Description:

This is the thirty-third cache in my finite mathematical series. I am a math teacher by day. I thought a cache series dedicated to math would be a good way to educate the public.

Trigonometry is the study of right triangles and the relationships between their sides and angles. It evolved in the third century BC and is a branch of geometry. Trigonometry has had a major impact in two everyday areas. First it has helped us map the world and easily navigate between any two points. That's right without math there would be no way to navigate precisely which means no Geocaching. The second area that has greatly benefited is sound. Trig has helped us really understand how sound works. Sound travels in a wave, but these waves are all variations of the sine wave from trig. So that catchy song you just heard on the radio, you can thank math. Being able to call someone a thousand miles away, thank math.
