    Trig is literally the math where you start dividing a circle in fractions and doing the math in base 360.

    What the hell are you talking about?

      I’m talking about trig using feet and inches. You know, rise, run, slope… Have you ever used trig outside of school? I don’t understand what you’re confused about.

        right now i use it for waves and reflections. that’s all fractions and degrees. before it was machining and tbh for me that was faster to go to the book for the answers than calculate everything out.

        truly trigonometry is a land of contrasts.
