Sine Law

$$\frac{\sin(\text{A})}{\text{a}} = \frac{\sin(\text{B})}{\text{b}} = \frac{\sin(\text{C})}{\text{c}}$$

Snell's Law

$$n_1 \sin(\theta_1) = n_2 \sin(\theta_2)$$

De Moivre's Theorem

$$\small (\cos x+ i \sin x)^n=\cos(nx)+i\sin(nx)$$

Double Angle Trig Identities

$$\sin(2\theta) = 2 \cdot \sin(\theta) \cdot \cos(\theta)$$

Trig Angle Sum/Difference Identities

$$\scriptsize \sin(a \pm b) = \sin(a) \cos(b) \pm \cos(a) \sin(b)$$

Hyperbolic Functions

$$\sinh(x) = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}$$

Cosine Law

$$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2 \cdot a \cdot b \cdot \cos(\theta)$$

Pythagorean Trig Identities

$$\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1$$

Pythagorean Theorem

$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$

Euler's Identity/Formula

$$e^{i\pi} = -1$$

Trig functions in terms of e

$$\small{\sin(x) = \frac{e^{ix} - e^{-ix}}{2i}, \cos(x) = \frac{e^{ix} + e^{-ix}}{2}}$$
