The unit circle definition of trigonometric function
In this video, Sal shows how the sine and cosine of an angle are defined on the unit circle. He inscribes a 30-60-90 triangle in the unit circle and explains how one can use SOH-CAH-TOA to find the coordinates on the circle.

Trig Identities Part 2 (Part 4 if you watch the proofs)
In this video, Sal reviews the basic trigonometric definitions and identities including the sum of angles formulas and then derives the double angle formulas.
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Proof: sin(a+b)=(cos a)(sin b)+(sin a)(cos b)
Sal proves the sum of angles formula for sine, sin (a+ b) = cos (a) sin (b) + sin (a) cos (b), through a clear but rather non-intuitive proof. The proof is interesting as it not only uses the SOH-CAH-TOA model but requires one to recall...
Lesson Planet: Curated OER
Proof: cos(a+b)=(cos a)(cos b)-(sin a)(sin b)
Using a similar method that he used to prove the sum of angles formula for sine, Sal shows the proof of the cosine sum of angles formula, cos (a+ b) = cos (a) cos (b) - sin (a) sin (b). This proof also uses the SOH-CAH-TOA model and some...
