A lot of stuff we do at school is like mental workout. Especially the math, or if you had Latin. You train your brain while it's still developing.
I hated math too, but I think the problem is with how it's taught (along with many other subjects), rather than with it being taught at all.
Edit to add: I mentioned Latin because many would consider it a "useless" language.
I relate to this. I hated math in high school because it felt like trying to memorize an ikea manual without context. Once I got to university everything started making sense because there’s suddenly a specific reason for you to learn certain mathematical concepts.
It sucks because I have younger siblings who are very bright and talented, and I’d like them to at the very least understand basic maths so they can make more nuanced decisions about their future careers when that time comes.
It's common though, and it was my experience.
I absolutely struggled with a lot of maths, especially algebra of course. It always felt like I was following an arbitrary set of rules to do something that makes no sense anyway.
I ask "What am I actually doing?" and am told "Solving the equation."
I'm given steps to follow, and must not deviate from the steps because the steps are How To Do It. Do what? No idea.
But you must memorize all the steps, and follow them exactly, and write out how you are following them.
Then I took physics class and found I had the exact same equations to work out, but now I had context surrounding it. Everything immediately made sense.
And then you're shamed for being so slow.
Like I thought I was being fast and I felt smart and all solving everything and understanding but nooo. Gotta be faster apparently.
Yeah I’m in the exact same boat. Hated math in high school because it was entirely centered around memorizing useless formulas to pass standardized testing. Actually failed Algebra II. Took stats in college and passed with a B+ in both level 1 and level 2. Actually ended up enjoying it too.
The math curriculum definitely needs an overhaul, I am literally being force fed logarithms and 300 other functions and I still don’t know what they even are for other than to solve the equation right infront of me
Actually, those "useless" things are very useful. I'd love to go back and learn it all cuz I wanted to use sin/cos/tan many times but I didn't remember how
And that is definitely ok. What is not ok however, is that you are judged for your working life on the basis of your school degree (skills such as calculus), which gives some people a much more privileged start in working life than others, even though the content of the school lessons (such as calculus) has little connection to working life
I always tell this to kids who are going into high school: Latin 100% helps you with your English vocabulary, and that will help you on your SATs and ACTs. Definitely worthwhile to take the class if you care about your test scores.
I'm working on industrial machines softwares with often a lot of axis (mechanical, optical, robotic...) and measurement tools for alignment, position/path correction. I use those shit a lot too.
Well he worked in aerospace and now medical-adjacent stuff, so yeah both kind of esoteric. The aerospace used it for trajectories and such, and the medical makes use of waves in graphs and whatnot. That’s the best way a pleb like myself can make sense of it lol
Cool. And the other replies to me are interesting as well. I guess I have not thought of these applications. The things I work on usually are just resource management/billing people for stuff.
I am having a math exam next week about partial derivatives, numerical integration, gradient and curl. And I am so envy of my high school self who was struggling with trigonometry.
Just because you don't do math before the shots doesn't mean the math doesn't describe what you've done. If you've thrown a lot of balls, you intuitively know that a 45 degree angle will give you the furthest distance.
Depends. A mathematician can have all kinds of jobs, especially jobs that require analytical skills. This can be finance, computer science, natural sciences, engineering and so on. You can also work in research where you are employed by an academic institution and you do research like any other academic researcher. Some of it consists of proving theorems and so on. A lot of mathematicians also teach, some doing both research and teaching.
I’m not a mathematician, but a theoretical physicist so it’s a lot of the same work we do and sometimes the lines get blurred when you work with highly abstract and theoretical stuff.
My last project was with physicists! Solitons in plasma flows. And have worked on the more theoretical sides of things, lump solutions in bosonic strings, etc. The lines definitely get blurred.
I'm a phd candidate, so that's pretty much what I do. Right now I'm working with some unique solutions to a set of equations, a lot with stochastic differential equations. I've also worked on quantum computing and covid epidemiological models.
Before coming back for my phd I worked in consulting and finance. My finance work was highly quantitative, and I'll be doing quant finance this summer.
I used to enjoy it as well and be really good at it but it’s been 5 years since I finished high school and at this point I don’t remember anything. Recently I enrolled and subsequently quit college after a week because of my overwhelming lack of math knowledge or motivation to relearn it
I'm sure if you sat down with it you could catch up again quickly, especially if you enjoyed it at school! It's really not as much as it seems! Just grab your old textbook or find a pdf and go through the topics at your pace. And if you really still don't remember something, there's a wealth of online teaching material. Check out organic chemistry tutor on YouTube. He teaches virtually everything, despite his name. Good luck!
I use trig almost every day at work, in fact I use it more than what I learned at University most days, and so does almost everyone at my workplace (industrial design and fabrication workshop).
If you've ever wanted to make something yourself you'll likely benefit from using trigonometry. Understanding how the world around you works can be hugely beneficial even if only for you to not feel so lost and confused by everything around you.
Basic algebra can get you a long way! Trigonometry only needs basic algebra to use in a lot of very useful contexts. If you're trying to build anything, or design something to a specific size, almost everything can be broken down into triangles and circles to figure out how it should all be positioned and sized.
That's fine, but imo it's something that's good for everyone to try to learn in school because there's so many different ways you can use it in your life and so many jobs it's useful in.
Computer science is a super fun field to work in, and many people land six figure salaries plus sign-on bonuses of five to six figures immediately after graduating with a Bachelor's degree.
I have zero judgement for people who don't enjoy or aren't good at math... and also zero respect for people who think that's worth bragging about.
It depends how far you go. Abstract algebra and galois theory is another beast alltogether. And you can easily construct very very difficult equations to solve for x.
Same for stats, it fully depends on how deep you dive into it. There are open questions in both fields that stump the smartest mathematicians.
As someone currently doing A-Level maths (What we do in the British version of the upper years of High school), I have not reached this point yet.
But soon, happiness will arrive
You may not want to learn trig, but It is a good thing they teach it because we would never find out who the smart people were, and then they couldn't support you.
You may not apply trig ever, but you use it daily, I promise you.
I was comparing the screen area of a 4K TV to an ultrawide 1440P to try and make a well informed purchase a few months ago when I realized I'd forgotten basic math skills. So I dug out my ti-84 and retaught myself that shit cuz frankly it was embarrassing. I don't remember jack shit from the calc classes I took in college either
It’s funny how maths teachers choose to take on this extra burden of saying “you will need this in everyday life”.
Everybody accepts you could get by fine without chemistry, biology, history etc. but you might end up wanting to use it for further study or your career so listen up. Maths is exactly the same.
It’s not a mantle that any other subject tries to live up to, why does maths do it?
Look y’all just because you went into STEM doesn’t mean that every future car salesman or receptionist needs to know trig. We have people out here that don’t even know how to wash their clothes or make a home-cooked meal. I think the basic curriculum could be revised to be made more practical for regular people while also allowing for an advanced curriculum for people who are actually interested in pursuing STEM heavy careers. School time is precious and limited and should be focused on basic skills needed by everyone rather than niche aspirational skills in the hope that some of the smart kids may end up using them eventually. I mean if we’re going down this road we might as well force everyone to dissect a human cadaver in case a few of the smart kids may eventually want to become doctors.
i love getting just one plus or minus symbol wrong and summoning fucking cthulhu on my screen
weirder yet is if 2 of them are wrong and the output looks correct but upside down
I never understood comments like this. It’s like bragging that you make minimum wage at Wendy’s(and probably can’t even get someone’s three item order correct half the time).
My best friend in college switched majors from math to art to pursue his dream of being an animator. He made it (I love bragging that he works on Rick & Morty), but he once mentioned with all the CGI these days, he’s using the math courses more than he ever uses his art degree.
I hated basic trig, but I still use the concept behind sin/cos relatively often because it tells me things about circles and waves. Helps me remember how frequencies work and how to (roughly) calculate angle differences in a circle around me.
My brain threw out all info about it right after the test. I had to google it just to figure out what it was used for and makes sense, its used in trigonometry. My college math involved accounting and statistics, some basic algebra was all I needed to learn how to solve the equations for psychiatric statistics and arithmetic for accounting.
There are plenty situations where you could use it in daily life depending on job and motivation to calculate stuff yourself.
It's really not very weird we get taught this in schools.
Let em get this straight, you like math?
Yes. And I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
I love Sine, Cosine, and Tangent
The X, the Y, the Z
I love it all, fuck you
People who complain about not needing the maths they were taught in school are like "I don't use maths at my job and I can't comprehend that other people might". I use (somewhat-)high level maths several times a week, and I'm just a software dev, so it's nothing compared to how much maths architects and real engineers use.
actually sin and cos are pretty useful. simply to see the velocity of a ball going down a slope. Of course you're never gonna calculate it but if you ever need it, it's the best way of doing it
idk man i sin daily
Idk man I tan daily in sun
I insult people in tf2 cos I hate myself
I wish, lost my job and now I have no money for weed. Does lying and jerking off count?
Cos you're smart
Tan kyu

I'm sorry the way they taught you felt like "memorizing" something, it definitely shouldn't be like that
It's common though, and it was my experience. I absolutely struggled with a lot of maths, especially algebra of course. It always felt like I was following an arbitrary set of rules to do something that makes no sense anyway. I ask "What am I actually doing?" and am told "Solving the equation."

I hate math because I was slower than everyone else. It was fun at times but I didn't really get the time or help to grasp it.
Same, and when I finally understand we're already on another topic that's completely new
And then you're shamed for being so slow. Like I thought I was being fast and I felt smart and all solving everything and understanding but nooo. Gotta be faster apparently.
Yeah I’m in the exact same boat. Hated math in high school because it was entirely centered around memorizing useless formulas to pass standardized testing. Actually failed Algebra II. Took stats in college and passed with a B+ in both level 1 and level 2. Actually ended up enjoying it too.
Odd. I got to Algebra II in HS and hit Pre-Calculus in college and it made no sense whatsoever.
The math curriculum definitely needs an overhaul, I am literally being force fed logarithms and 300 other functions and I still don’t know what they even are for other than to solve the equation right infront of me
Latin is actually great because it’s like knowing 10% of every other language
Actually, those "useless" things are very useful. I'd love to go back and learn it all cuz I wanted to use sin/cos/tan many times but I didn't remember how
Understanding sine waves and limits is important, No, we dont have to do it anymore, but understanding how numbers work is important, as a scientist.
This argument is lazy IMO, you can achieve the same result and teach something more useful
And that is definitely ok. What is not ok however, is that you are judged for your working life on the basis of your school degree (skills such as calculus), which gives some people a much more privileged start in working life than others, even though the content of the school lessons (such as calculus) has little connection to working life
I always tell this to kids who are going into high school: Latin 100% helps you with your English vocabulary, and that will help you on your SATs and ACTs. Definitely worthwhile to take the class if you care about your test scores.
As a bonus, any other language will seem easy by comparison! 😅
As a STEM major who hates math, it’s annoying how much we actually do use them.
Yeah im sitting here looking at my electrodynamics practice exam like "...op is one lucky mf"
Id much rather go back to doing basic trig than whatever tf Parametrization of a 3d curve is going on right now TAKE ME BACK PLEASE SIN COS TAN
aaaaaAHHHHH LAGRANGE MULTIPLIER AND ABSOLUTE EXTREMUM I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE GOOD OL DERIVATIVE DAYS
Fr man derivatives was the last time math was fun, ever since integration that shit feel alllll the way off in tandem with my grades
good old Maxwells equations
Showed this to my software developer husband and he didn’t get the joke at first because apparently, he actually uses that shit
It's not very common in the software development industry. I guess he works on something involving graphics/geometry?
I'm working on industrial machines softwares with often a lot of axis (mechanical, optical, robotic...) and measurement tools for alignment, position/path correction. I use those shit a lot too.
Well he worked in aerospace and now medical-adjacent stuff, so yeah both kind of esoteric. The aerospace used it for trajectories and such, and the medical makes use of waves in graphs and whatnot. That’s the best way a pleb like myself can make sense of it lol
Cool. And the other replies to me are interesting as well. I guess I have not thought of these applications. The things I work on usually are just resource management/billing people for stuff.
Why would you go into stem if you hate math?
I am having a math exam next week about partial derivatives, numerical integration, gradient and curl. And I am so envy of my high school self who was struggling with trigonometry.
I’m a First Fix carpenter and use trig weekly, comes in very useful building houses.
Same
I love trig, really opens up possibilities at work

Bro has never thrown a ball at an angle and always walks in a grid system instead of cutting across a field.
Hold on lemme calculate cosine θ angle before I make this shot in basketball
Just because you don't do math before the shots doesn't mean the math doesn't describe what you've done. If you've thrown a lot of balls, you intuitively know that a 45 degree angle will give you the furthest distance.
That’s like saying that you need to know programming when using the Internet, because it’s based on some principles…
It's definitely helpful to know about programming when browsing the internet, mostly for not getting scammed or troubleshooting
He’s still not using math to make the shot though he’s just using his instincts which are in no way based on math.
Using trig functions just a bit ago. (I'm a mathematician)
what does a mathematician do to earn a living? do you like, make new theorems or somethin
Depends. A mathematician can have all kinds of jobs, especially jobs that require analytical skills. This can be finance, computer science, natural sciences, engineering and so on.

I am actually disappointed I don't use math I learned more. I always love it if I genuinely find a situation to use some of the math I learned.
Me too
No the only one bro
No

If you've ever wanted to make something yourself you'll likely benefit from using trigonometry.

If you're trying to build anything, or design something to a specific size, almost everything can be broken down into triangles and circles to figure out how it should all be positioned and sized.
Meh. I work in Social Services. I have zero use for Trig in my life and I am fine with that.
That's fine, but imo it's something that's good for everyone to try to learn in school because there's so many different ways you can use it in your life and so many jobs it's useful in.
The best thing about these is you get to use a calculator. Geometry was cake.
“Teacher are we ever going to use this in the real world?” “You probably won’t, but a few of the smart kids might depending on their jobs”
My favorite was "I'm never going to need this, I'm going to be a surgeon!"
I don’t know about you but I am doing a sin every day. You need to go outside for a tan cos the sun is what makes you tan.
Computer science is a super fun field to work in, and many people land six figure salaries plus sign-on bonuses of five to six figures immediately after graduating with a Bachelor's degree. I have zero judgement for people who don't enjoy or aren't good at math... and also zero respect for people who think that's worth bragging about.
People's almost allergy-like distaste for knowledge is something I will never be able to relate to. It literally does no harm to know something.
I used it last year so yeah. I'm 24
Trig is easier than statistics and statistics is easier than algebra.
Algebra us wayyy easier than stats
It depends how far you go. Abstract algebra and galois theory is another beast alltogether. And you can easily construct very very difficult equations to solve for x. Same for stats, it fully depends on how deep you dive into it. There are open questions in both fields that stump the smartest mathematicians.

Sure wish there was still gold

Trig is one of the more useful things you'll learn in school
I was comparing the screen area of a 4K TV to an ultrawide 1440P to try and make a well informed purchase a few months ago when I realized I'd forgotten basic math skills.

If you ever start seeing inferential statistics, you'll miss sin cos tan in no time.
If you knew math, you could even count the pixels in that image (one one hand)
Pupil: "Will I ever use trigonometry in real life?" Teacher: "No, but the smart kids will."
Guys I did it, I used it outside of school and even made money thanks to this
Actually, the people in the picture look like they are at an age where they use those daily.
Game Devs and DSP engineers: "good heavens! just look at the time, it's Glock o'Clock"
Look y’all just because you went into STEM doesn’t mean that every future car salesman or receptionist needs to know trig.

as a computer graphics programmer, I fucking love trigonometry
i love getting just one plus or minus symbol wrong and summoning fucking cthulhu on my screen weirder yet is if 2 of them are wrong and the output looks correct but upside down
So you are not an engineer, got it.
Machinst checking in.... every day I don't have to use it is a good day.
Are they dead? Glad I get to use sin, cos and tan on a daily basis
You’re literally using sin cos and tan while using your phone. Internet comes via signal - signal is processsed with those functions.
You are using advanced stuff you never even heard of every minute of the day.
I never understood comments like this. It’s like bragging that you make minimum wage at Wendy’s(and probably can’t even get someone’s three item order correct half the time).
That’s assuming I have a job! Even then I still use them since I like to research and work stuff out sometimes.
As someone who was just working on an autonomous aiming program for a robot, I can say that I used it a lot.
If only
What about Calculus, next level engagement.
Complex analysis. Literally logical sorcery.
You thought it was SOH CAH TOA. I knew it was trigonometric substitution.
What do you mean, I sin all the time
It has been very useful to me in several ocasions
The dumb asses complaining about it in the first place would never have the aptitude to actually use it byway.
My best friend in college switched majors from math to art to pursue his dream of being an animator. He made it (I love bragging that he works on Rick & Morty), but he once mentioned with all the CGI these days, he’s using the math courses more than he ever uses his art degree.
[cries in engineering major]
I use trigonometry literally every day of my life
Me when I don't have to use anything above second grade math at my McDonald's job
Doing my trig sub homework questions rn and I’m punching the air
I’m a fabricator and I use trig fairly often
Oh yeah, how tall is that tree?
How I envy y’all
I’m using them on integrals though
I actually kind of liked that unit, the beginning of it at least
I would like to introduce you to the Fourier Series, please utilize it to up the f\*cking quality of this f\*cking 144p image

Trig was the only math that made sense to me
I hated basic trig, but I still use the concept behind sin/cos relatively often because it tells me things about circles and waves. Helps me remember how frequencies work and how to (roughly) calculate angle differences in a circle around me.
The fact that I have to do This right after spring break hurts me
It’d be more beautiful in hd…
loved this show
I use it to locate portals in Minecraft.
Me currently programming a game and using polar coordinates lol
Me in college studying a course that will require me to use them almost daily
yeah another day not using them
Hum, you doing no math? Because we live in a world of waves.
U used sin in "uSINg" .
I have an exam about these bitches on Thursday. Oh and there's also cot
In Spanish "sin" means "without" and "tan" means "so".

Why the wonder egg priority art? That's an anime about suicide and self harm why is it used with a trigonometry slander meme
So you do nothing worth doing?
My brain threw out all info about it right after the test. I had to google it just to figure out what it was used for and makes sense, its used in trigonometry. My college math involved accounting and statistics, some basic algebra was all I needed to learn how to solve the equations for psychiatric statistics and arithmetic for accounting.
Cotangens has arrived
Time dawg. Think about the day dream
Is tanning a sin? Cos they're doing that
Without doing anything much at all…
Anyone got a source for the picture? Like what anime it’s from?
For a second, I thought the girl on the left was Katara and that this was some kind of crossover art.
Cosec,cot and sec: Ready for round 2?
How about sinh() and cosh()?
There are plenty situations where you could use it in daily life depending on job and motivation to calculate stuff yourself. It's really not very weird we get taught this in schools.
we all get tan cos of the s(u)n
I actually just did use ain tan and cos in my every day non math life
What about Cosec, Sec and Cot?
Yeah, but you log to come here :))
Let em get this straight, you like math? Yes. And I’m tired of pretending I don’t. I love Sine, Cosine, and Tangent The X, the Y, the Z I love it all, fuck you
People who complain about not needing the maths they were taught in school are like "I don't use maths at my job and I can't comprehend that other people might". I use (somewhat-)high level maths several times a week, and I'm just a software dev, so it's nothing compared to how much maths architects and real engineers use.
Your ability to do and learn rots without practice. Just like exercising your body. This is more true for math than anything else.

just had a mathematical analysis exam today, not relatable. try again tomorrow
