I have been known to say that Math may be the closest thing we have to the language of God. While my views on Math, God, and Language have each changed since then, the fact remains that Math is the most precise of languages. Today another connection struck me, regarding the amazing nature of trigonometry. You see, applying just a little numerology (particularly that intrinsically identifiable and generally consistent within the scriptures), we can draw the following conclusions.
-
Three (3): The essence of triangles and the number of divinity.
-
Seven (7): Wholeness, completeness, and perfection – and therefore ideally represented by the circle.
Therefore, Divinity + Perfection = Trigonometry, the study of circles, triangles, and their relationships to eachother.
Such a study is surely applicable to every area of life. In other words, trigonometry is awesome.
