Abstract
A trigonometric function display clock includes a clock face that has a center aligned with a central axis, axial markings aligned with an x-axis and a y-axis, and a secondary circle having a diameter equal to a radius of the axial markings. A first point on the secondary circle is aligned at the center of the central axis, and the secondary circle is configured to be rotatable about the first point. The secondary circle is configured to overlap and align with at least a portion of the axial markings as the secondary circle rotates about the first point.
Claims18
A trigonometric function display clock method, the method comprising:
- executing a clock application on a processor, wherein the clock application is stored in a memory,
- generating, by the clock application, a clock display having at least one hand indicator, wherein the at least one hand indicator rotates about a central axis;
- generating, by the clock application, at least one of a cosine indicator or a sine indicator on the clock display, wherein the at least one of the cosine indicator or the sine indicator is indicative of a value of a cosine or sine, respectively, of a position of the at least one hand indicator as the at least one hand indicator rotates about the central axis, and wherein the at least one of the cosine indicator or the sine indicator, respectively, is a secondary circle aligned with the at least one hand with a horizontal axis or a vertical axis, respectively.
A trigonometric function display clock method, the method comprising:
- executing a clock application on a processor, wherein the clock application is stored in a memory,
- generating, by the clock application, a clock display having at least one hand indicator, wherein the at least one hand indicator rotates about a central axis;
- generating, by the clock application, at least one of a cosine indicator or a sine indicator on the clock display, wherein the at least one of the cosine indicator or the sine indicator is indicative of a value of a cosine or sine, respectively, of a position of the at least one hand indicator as the at least one hand indicator rotates about the central axis;
- displaying a first hand of the at least one hand indicator as a seconds hand;
- displaying a second hand of the at least one hand indicator as a minutes hand;
- generating, by the clock application, a trigonometric sum identity of a sine and cosine using the first hand and the second hand;
- and
- displaying a third hand of the at least one hand indicator as the trigonometric sum identity.
A trigonometric function display clock method, the method comprising:
- executing a clock application on a processor, wherein the clock application is stored in a memory,
- generating, by the clock application, a clock display having at least one hand indicator, wherein the at least one hand indicator rotates about a central axis;
- generating and displaying a unit circle indicator on the clock display, wherein a center of the unit circle indicator is aligned with the central axis;
- generating and displaying, by the clock application, a secondary circle having a diameter equal to a radius of the unit circle, wherein a first point on the secondary circle is aligned at the center of the unit circle, wherein the secondary circle is configured to be rotatable about the first point with the at least one hand indicator;
- generating, by the clock application, at least one of a cosine indicator or a sine indicator on the clock display, wherein the at least one of the cosine indicator or the sine indicator is indicative of a value of a cosine or sine, respectively, based on an overlap between the secondary circle and a y-axis or an x-axis, respectively, on the clock display.
