    0 references
    The author highlights the role that trigonometry played in Lobachevsky's work on hyperbolic geometry. In particular, this article discusses Lobachevsky's use of trigonometric equations in his argument for relative consistency and in his comparison of spheres in hyperbolic space with those in Euclidean space.
