So im busy at work on my breaks teaching my self trig, and find it in-trig-uing! Lol i am right now on the law of sines and thats fun, but i want to get to inverse trig functions and polar coordinates! I have a drive that is to know more about not only myself but also about the universe...

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.As a youngster, I learned basic navigation through sailing and exploring my local mountains and deserts. In high school, after struggling mightily with algebra, imagine my surprize when I launched into geometry anf trig to realize I already had a handle on the basics and understood how they were useful! I thought doing proofs was fun, and appreciated that there’s room for some creativity doing them. Trig gives us another great way to describe our world. Good luck, and enjoy!

As a teenager I found trigonometry easy and obvious. Proving Pythagoras was such a doddle that I knew anyone could have worked it out. My wife said she had felt the same way about such an elementary geometrical calculation.
Then, in my sixties, my wife and I sat down to prove this simple and obvious theorem. We were stymied.
Maybe Pythagoras was cleverer than us, after all!!
