Hey I need to consult an expert for a calculus project and I was wondering if I could get any type of your work or information on the subject on Electronics and how Trig. And vectors are used. Even a Formula you might use would be great. Thank you

Ok, I can try to help, but I'm afraid I'm at a lost at what you actually want. I'm not an expert in electronics, I can manage some trig, calc and a little vectors.

All of electronics ultimately boils down to Maxwell's equations. All four of them use vector quantities.

As for trig, it's used extensively throughout all types of engineering. For example, when modeling simple low-frequency AC circuits, the phase angle of the voltage and the current (which are sinusoidal signals) is dependent upon reactive circuit elements such as capacitors and inductors. At much higher frequencies (like RF or microwave) the electrical wavelength becomes small compared to the size of the circuit elements. Therefore, low frequency approximations such as the voltage being the same everywhere on a circuit node are no longer valid. In this high-frequency regime, the phase angle of the signals varies greatly with position, so trigonometry is paramount for calculating voltages, currents, or electromagnetic fields. You can get a small taste of it by reading about transmission line theory. There are many, many more examples where vectors and trig are used through electronics and electrical engineering, but I just wanted to show you a couple.

By the way, if you search the internet for information on building a rotary phase converter, that will be a great example of electronics incorporating trigonometry. Just a thought.
