TRIGONOMETRY:
It is a branch of Mathematics that deals with angles and sides of a triangle.
The six ratios of trigonometry are as follows:
Sine (sin)
Cosine (cos)
Tangent (tan)
Cotangent (cot)
Cosecant (cosec)
Secant (sec)
BASIC IDENTITIES OF TRIGONOMETRY:
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
1 + tan2θ = sec2θ
1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
A trigonometric equation is an equation involving one or more trigonometric ratios. Trigonometric sums are proved using both algebraic identities and trigonometric identities as shown in the examples below:

MATRIX:
it is an arrangement of elements in rows and columns. The horizontal line is called the row and the vertical line is the column. The order of a matrix of m rows and n columns is given by m x n.
DETERMINANT:
It is the value obtained by multiplying the elements of the matrix using a particular method row wise or column wise.
Types of matrices:
A row matrix has only one row with any number of columns.
A column matrix has only one column with any number of rows.
A square matrix has equal number of rows and columns.
An identity matrix is a matrix that has the main diagonal elements as 1 and all other elements as zero.
A singular matrix is a matrix with determinant value equal to zero.
A non singular matrix is a matrix whose determinant is a non zero value.
