Trigonometric Functions in PyTorch

In this PyTorch tutorial, we will discuss trigonometric functions applied to PyTorch Tensor.

PyTorch is an open-source framework available with a Python programming language. We can process the data in PyTorch in the form of a tensor.

A tensor is a multidimensional array that is used to store the data. For using a tensor, we have to import the torch module.

To create a tensor, the method used is tensor().

Syntax:
torch.tensor(data)

Where data is a multidimensional array.

torch.sin() Function

The torch.sin() function in PyTorch returns sine values of all the elements in a tensor. It takes only one parameter.

Syntax:
torch.sin(tensor_object)

Parameter:
tensor_object is the input tensor

Example 1

Let’s create a one-dimensional tensor, data1 and return sine values, by applying torch.sin().

#import torch module
import torch
 
#create a 1D tensor - data1 with 5 numeric values.
data1 = torch.tensor([23,45,67,10,0])
 
#display
print("Tensor: ",data1)

#perform sin() on above tensor
print("Sine values: ",torch.sin(data1))

Output:

Tensor:  tensor([23, 45, 67, 10,  0])
Sine values:  tensor([-0.8462,  0.8509, -0.8555, -0.5440,  0.0000])

We can see that sine values were returned.

Example 2

Let’s create a two-dimensional tensor, data1 and return sine values, by applying torch.sin() on it.

#import torch module
import torch
 
#create a 2D tensor - data1 with 5 numeric values in each row.
Data1 = torch.tensor([[23,45,67,10,0],[65,78,90,120,180]])
 
#display
print("Tensor: ",data1)

#perform sin() on above tensor
print("Sine values: ",torch.sin(data1))

        [ 65, 78, 90, 120, 180]])
