Pythagorean identity and other related identities
Pythagorean identity $ \cos^2 \theta+\sin^2 \theta =1 \ $
$ \sin^2 \theta = 1-\cos^2 \theta \ $
$ \cos^2 \theta = 1-\sin^2 \theta \ $
$ \sec^2 \theta = 1+\tan^2 \theta \ $
$ \csc^2 \theta = 1+\cot^2 \theta \ $

Half-Angle Formulas
Half-angle for sine $ \sin \frac{\theta}{2} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{1-\cos \theta}{2} } \ $
Angle sum and differences identities
Angle sum for sine $ \sin \left( \theta\pm \alpha \right)=\sin \theta \cos \alpha \pm \cos \theta \sin \alpha $
