Are there developments done on the relationship between calculus and trigonometry?

That unification would definatelly be good, because it would make a connection between difference, angles, and legths. Pythagoras' theorem could then be studied by calculus. And probably we could find another theorem just as fundamental but more usefull than theoretical euclidean geometry, usefull to physics, in particular.

Also, where are langragians and hamiltonians in the list of math branches?
