This lecture goes into the math requirements for solving the inverse kinematics problem for the parallel robot constructed in this class.

The lecture introduces the ideas of sine, cosine, and tangent using triangles. These ideas are extended to include using sine and cosine for representing points in a coordinate system. The law of cosines is introduced because it is used in the next lecture on solving for the parallel robot inverse kinematics.
