Welcome

Welcome to ProofWiki! Since you're new, you may want to check out the general help page. It's the best first stop to see how things are done (next to reading proofs, of course!). Please feel free to contribute to whichever area of mathematics interests you, either by adding new proofs, or fixing up existing ones. If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of the administrators, or post your question on the questions page.

Here are some useful pages to help get you started:

  • Community Portal - To see what needs to be done, and keep up to date with the community.
  • Recent Changes - To keep up with what's new, and what's being added.
  • Check out our house style if you are keen on contributing.
  • Main Page talk - This is where most of the main discussions regarding the direction of the site take place. If you have any ideas, please share them!

Cheers!

Trigonometric formulas

I can see what you're trying to do, but you might want to experiment a bit in your sandbox before you start making edits to live code, specially as you still seem unfamiliar with the workings of the MediaWiki software package.

You are encouraged to experiment in the page User:Aabatista/Sandbox where you can work out how all these things work.

Note that the first of your product formulas already exists as Euler Formula for Sine Function. It is not intended that this be included in Trigonometrical Identities which is for formulas derived from the trig functions, not those for creating trig functions out of infinite series.

Feel free to spend time reading random proofs, to get a feel for how this site works. --prime mover (talk) 22:24, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer. I am trying to get used to the editing of the wiki. But it is confusing. I took some formulas from wikipedia/mathworld that I'd like to see the proof for. They are just stated there. I put them in the link below. The second statement follows from the first. http://www.proofwiki.org/wiki/Product_Formulas_for_Sine_and_Cosine#Theorem

There seems to be no name for these formulas though. They are not referenced either in G & R.
