Does it exist a numerical method to calculate for example sin (42°), sin (43°), sin (44°) etc by hand?

To calculate sin, cos, and tan without a calculator, you can use the basic trigonometric identities and formulas. For example, sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, and tan = opposite/adjacent. You can also use the unit circle or memorize common values for sin, cos, and tan.
Calculating sin, cos, and tan by hand is important because it helps you understand the underlying concepts and principles of trigonometry. It also allows you to verify the accuracy of your answers when using a calculator and can be useful in situations where a calculator is not available.
Yes, you can use a calculator to check your answers when calculating sin, cos, and tan by hand. However, it is important to note that calculators may round off values, so your answers may not be exact.
Some tips for calculating sin, cos, and tan by hand include understanding the relationship between the trigonometric functions and the unit circle, memorizing common values, using the appropriate trigonometric formulas, and practicing regularly to improve your skills.
There are some shortcuts for calculating sin, cos, and tan by hand, such as using the Pythagorean identities and the sum and difference formulas. However, these shortcuts may not always be applicable and it is important to have a solid understanding of the concepts and principles behind the calculations.
