Sinus totus information

In trigonometry, the sinus totus (Latin for "total sine") was historically the radius of the base circle used to construct a sine table; that is, the maximum possible value of the sine.

Letting the notation $\operatorname {Sin} \theta$ stand for the historical sine, and $\sin \theta$ stand for the modern sine function,

\operatorname {Sin} \theta =R\sin \theta ,

where $R$ is the sinus totus, $R=\operatorname {Sin} 90^{\circ }.$
