When the hell will i ever need to know anything about trig in my life. My math teacher is an ass and she assignes us 50 problems a night of long trig equations. I see no us of this ever in my life in the near future. So when the fuck do you use trig that it is so important to do.  /Rant.

Those who didnt read its about me being pissed off about trig

Check out Khan Academy. Literally might be the best thing anyone has ever shown me.

If you can explain to me how to use trig to build jumps I will believe you. Getting precise enough with a kicker to shave off like a degree of slope at a time is a ridiculous idea anyways. Mike Wilson got owned on that jump because he went too slow, and the jump was way too huge and looked like a piece of shit jump.

i thought calc 2 was the hardest but i use taylor series expansion almost every day. i generally dont care so much about convergence and all that stuff but looking at the different terms is incredibly useful. if you take nothing else out of the class, remember how to a taylor expansion - and dont just memorize the common ones, thats never useful and a real life application will never be that easy

calc 2 is a bitch. First math class you actually need to know your stuff rather than memorizing how to do problems.

Yeah I don't bother with grammar when I'm on my phone, It's too much of a hassle and IOS always wrongly corrects me.
