sine

Cosecant's reciprocal function

Sine is a trigonometric function representing the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

In the unit circle, it gives the y-coordinate of a point at a given angle.

Sine waves describe smooth periodic oscillations fundamental to physics, engineering, and signal processing: The voltage follows a sine wave.

The abbreviation is sin.
