This video presents a summary of classical spherical trigonometry. First we define spherical distance between two points on a sphere, then the angle between two lines on a sphere (i.e. great circles). After a quick reminder of the circular functions cos,sin and tan, we present the main laws: the (spherical) sine law, two Cosine laws, Pythagoras' theorem, Thales theorem, Napier's Rules, the law of haversines and a few more, namely Napier's and Delambre's Analogies.We will not be using these laws in any substantial way: shortly in this course we will redevelop the framework of spherical trigonometry in a completely new, simplified algebra fashion. We will obtain analogs of the above laws, but analogs that are much more rigorous, powerful and accurate.

This is a complete and relatively elementary course explaining a new, simpler and more elegant theory of non-Euclidean geometry; in particular hyperbolic geometry. It is a purely algebraic approach which avoids transcendental functions like log, sin, tanh etc, relying instead on high school algebra and quadratic equations. The theory is more general, extending beyond the null circle, and connects naturally to Einstein's special theory of relativity. This course is meant for mathematics majors, bright high school students, high school teachers, engineers, scientists, and others with an interest in mathematics and some basic algebraic skills. NJ Wildberger is also the developer of Rational Trigonometry: a new and better way of learning and using trigonometry. Look up for his course in order to familiarize with this new development. He also has recorded very organized and detailed lecture series on Algebraic Topology, History of Mathematic, Linear Algebra, and more.
