  • Hasn't rational trigonometry only recently been introduced in 2005?

  • @ZijiXiji

    I disagree. I think this is much simpler than standard trigonometry. This isn't hard to understand in any way.

  • When you listen to this guy you can see why most students think math is tough. He is using the most complicated way I have ever seen to explain this stuff.

    Teachers have to be able to teach, not just spout rote from never really understood memories. Remember, those who can-do; those who can't-teach

  • Is the angle 25.941176470588235294117647058­82352...?

  • I like that I can precisely calculate the spread, whereas for the angle, I must appeal to some external approximate source.
