It depends on what you mean by modern. If you mean "not ancient," then three big names are:



John Napier who discovered laws for solving spherical triangles.



Isaac Newton who defined the trigonometric functions in terms of infinite series.



Leonhard Euler who defined trigonometric functions in terms of complex numbers.
