Summary:A mathematical approach is presented for the synthesis of the 12 trigonometric functions by infinite resolution potentiometers. (Infinite resolution potentiometers have continuous resistive tracks--generally uniformly thick--as compared to wire-wound potentiometers, which are of finite resolution in resistivity due to wire-to-wire discontinuities.) A tangent function synthesis is discussed as an illustration of the approach.
