The father of trigonometry is generally

considered to be Hipparchus, an ancient Greek
mathematician who lived around the 2nd
century BCE.

He made significant contributions to

the field, including the development of
trigonometric tables and methods for
calculating angles and distances in
astronomy.

Hipparchus -

Hipparchus is credited with creating

the first systematic trigonometric
table, which related the lengths of the
sides of right triangles to their angles.
His work laid the foundation for the
study of trigonometry as we know it
today.
