Abstract
Gosper introduced the functions sin q z and cos q z as q-analogues for the trigonometric functions sin z and cos z respectively. He stated but did not prove a variety of identities involving these two q-trigonometric functions. In this paper, we shall use the theory of elliptic functions to prove three formulas from the list of Gosper on the functions sin q z and cos q z.
