Abstract

Explicit evaluations of finite trigonometric sums arose in proving certain theta function identities of Ramanujan. In this paper, without any appeal to theta functions, several classes of finite trigonometric sums, including the aforementioned sums, are evaluated in closed form in terms of class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields.
