Solving trig identities reminded me of word puzzles. This identity is equal to that one, which is also equal to another one and another, but only one works.

The thing about pi tho is that more than one works. Personally I use '3' to find the radial point of a circle circumscribed by a field-fence to enclose the 'maximum' amount of dog yard for example. An obsession on 'maximum' adds the .14 etc.

This is true. When I was all finished with trigonometry and I earned my A, I looked back and I thought to myself, trigonometry seems more about the circle than it is about actual triangles. It is all based on degrees of the unit circle. And the unit circle is just a Cartesian plane.

A lacksidaisicle approach to trigonometry may rile the perfectionist and result in crooked houses but a simple sketch on notepaper can suffice:

How much area would I deprive a pet in a circular compound derived from pi as 3 rather than 3.14 if the fence I'm working with is 330 feet long?

Circles have less space than squares. I know this from baking. Square pan requires more dough than a circle pan.

I actually thought trig was easier than college algebra but then again I had a very tough professor for college algebra. college algebra starts to get difficult at the end when you get into logarithms and matrices. And I don't like that letter e and I think dealing with the letter i is fucking retarded.

Trig was very challenging but I didn't really find any of it "hard"  necessarily. A lot of memorization. Most of it reminded me of doing brain puzzles. I had a teacher in elementary school, I think it was third grade, at the beginning of the day there was always some sort of a brain puzzle that she would give everyone. Some were a lot more challenging than others but everybody was always intrigued by the answer.

OK, but why?




I ask myself the same thing about trigonometry. Just what is the point?



I asked myself the same thing about algebra. But when I took trigonometry, it made algebra make sense. It helped me to see the connection. Now I know that I could actually use algebra for useful things. Trigonometry has quite a bit of uses. First of all it can help you understand your psychedelic hallucinations, but it can also help you figure out the height of buildings based on their shadow, it can help you figure out how to program your car's computer if you change your tire size, and other things. I really love the whole a squared plus b squared equals c squared of a triangle. I love that all the angles of a triangle will always equal 180°. It's really helpful for calculus.

Anyway, when I was taking trigonometry, my favorite pi was pi over 6. I love that pi is equal to 180°. It always made me feel like a math geek writing my answers in radian instead of degrees. Don't get me wrong, degrees is very straightforward but radian just looks really fancy and pretty.

I had a pretty cool trigonometry professor. He was awesome. I got an A in that class and even though math is not my favorite subject I actually love that class. not class sort of made me like math. Now I'm teaching myself calculus before I take the class. I want to know what the professor is talking about. Taking trig with such a cool professor is what gave me more confidence in my math skills. I actually think it's easier to solve trig equations than it is to solve algebra equations. And as difficult as it is I also came to actually enjoy solving trig identities.





Algebra and Trigonometry = the next generation of Crossword puzzles imo.



YES!!!! Word puzzles?........... BORING. Math puzzles?............ YES PLEASE! Shit, I solve trig equations in my sleep.

Cool math

When we begin with a circumference of 330' and use a pi of three to locate the radial point, the diameter works out to be 110' and the radius = 55'

2×(pi×r) thereby = 330 thus proving pi to be 3.
