asked on

Is trigonometry a prerequisite for stochastic calculus.

Dear experts,

I want to study learn Stochastic calculus with good level of understanding.

As we speak I have to covered Trigonometry functions, inverse, triangle (properties) and hyperbola.

Can any of the experts comment if stochastic calculus requires very good knowledge and depth of Trigonometry. If it is not required then I can focus on other areas required for stochastic calculus.

Kindly guide.

Thank you

ste5an,

Thank you.

Is a lot of depth required? I have completed studying till high school.

Kindly guide.

Thank you
When you had it back than, you will remember the necessary parts :)

I would just buy one or two good formularies right now. Like Bronshtein (Handbook of Mathematics).
Hi ste5an

Thank you for suggesting this book

I bought the book and checked the content in Trigonometry section.

I have covered all those formulae. I can attempt to solve problems using the formualae listed in this section.

Please let me know if you/any other experts have  any more thoughts.

Thank you

D-glitch,

Yes I can do trigonometry till high-school level.

I have covered the following topics to be precise. Are the topics below provide sufficient knowledge for Stochastic calculus.



Trigonometric Ratios up to Transformations:
6.1      Graphs and Periodicity of Trigonometric      functions.
6.2      Trigonometric ratios and Compound angles.
6.3      Trigonometric ratios of multiple and sub- multiple angles
6.4      Transformations - Sum and Product rules.

7 Trigonometric Equations:
General Solution of Trigonometric Equations.
Simple Trigonometric Equations - Solutions.

8 Inverse Trigonometric Functions:
To reduce a Trigonometric Function into a bijection
Graphs of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Properties of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

9 Hyperbolic Functions
Definition of Hyperbolic Function - Graphs
Definition of Inverse Hyperbolic Functions - Graphs
Addition formulas of Hyperbolic Functions

Properties of Triangles
Relation between sides and angles of a Triangle
Sine, Cosine, Tangent and Projection rules.
Half angle formulae and areas of a triangle
In-circle and Ex-circle of a Triangle


another question: does Fourier series require trigonometry? if yes then do the above topics suffice?

Kindly guide.
