📊 Trigonometry in Data Visualization

Trigonometric functions enable powerful data representations, transforming raw numbers into insightful visual patterns.

Fourier Transform

Decomposes signals into constituent sine waves:

• Audio processing (MP3 compression)
• Image compression (JPEG)
• Signal filtering

Polar Coordinate Plots

Ideal for cyclical data:

• Wind direction frequency (wind roses)
• Radar charts for multivariate data
• Spiral visualizations of time series

3D Surface Modeling

Using spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ):

• Geographical elevation maps
• Molecular orbital visualizations
• MRI scan reconstructions
