Use them all the time as a mechanical engineer
Having coded a 3D engine: sin and cos are cool. Tan can fuck right off. Atan doubly so.
And radians are the devil's work.
But his arms are making a triangle.
With angles that need to be found...
I use all three every single day as a machinist xD
I use almost daily
Damn, I've been trying but I keep relapsing
I.e. day 1209 of not doing anything useful or being a poet. Are you a poet?
Not me. I went years without until last week I realised I needed them for a script that points an object at a target in Maya. Turns out trig is really fucking universal.
This guy.
He's known for a different meme, but he's used in this one and manages to look like he's posing at gunpoint after being told "look casual and not afraid. Now, smile."
The fuck you mean? I sin almost every day
In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said "well it's just programmed into your calculator" and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.
I don't think I've ever used them.

- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
