I am currently taking trigonometry for the first time, my professor teaching is very hard to understand. But after researching and finding your video, I figure it out in minutes. Your method are more effective and easy to learn. Thank you

[@narindersingh2776]

Great the way you explained. I have watched your show and you are great. Thank you sir. I am a senior person but love your classes. Will watch again and again to enjoy your teaching methods. All the best.

Back in 1970, senior year of high school, I was thinking what am I ever going to need trig for. Fast forward a few years and I find out that it is necessary (or at the very least quite helpful) when you are laying out roof rafters for a house. I still love math. Numbers never lie.

[@marvinostman522]

I really enjoyed the video. I asked that question, where am I going to use this. Without that you are just moving numbers on a page with no purpose. I started looking into these equations when I was trying to figure the angle of a splayed leg on a stool. I found the lengths by using “pitch or run and rise.” I marked that out using my framing square and then used a protractor. If I don’t have those things with me then I am stuck. Your explanation is easy to follow. I am glad you stressed taking good notes.

Actually I had fun solving this using Dyalog APL instead of a calculator. The hardest part (took me about two minutes because my APL was rusty) was converting arctan into APL. Then of course because all APL trig functions are expressed in radians I had to convert rads to degrees, another 30 seconds. Great fun! I don't use trig much so I like to refresh on the basics every now and then.

[@simmo5071]

If the tangent = opp/adj why do you take the inverse to get the answer?

[@jasonmorris858]

That's a good lesson thanks John😊

[@warrenchu6319]

I was looking for a way to *compute* arctan(x) without using a table (as done by an electronic calculator), hoping this video would do that. Turns out arctan (x) can be expressed as a polynomial expansion series of (x) called the Maclaurin series approximation for arctan: arctan (x) = x - x^3/3 + x^5/5 - x^7/7 + ... (where ... means more terms and arctan(x) is in radians). Example1: arctan (1) = 1 - .33 + .20 - .14 = 0.73 radians, compared to the actual value arctan (1) = pi/4 or 0.78 radians or 45 degrees. Example2: arctan (.714285) = .714285 - .121477 + .037186 - .013552 = 0.616443 radians or 35.3 degrees (as in the video example). The series is infinite; the more terms you compute, the more accurate the result.

Why 90° angle is drawn as box? I think it depends on country. Some ppl are drawing circle with dot.

[@johnhewett9483]

Question. Is the answer is the answer 35.53 degrees or 35 degrees 53 minutes?

[@jamesedward9306]

First of all love the channel. But I'm a little confused with this problem and would welcome help from the creator of this vid or anyone else. So when I first viewed this problem I thought there was a way to solve it without using all of the trig functions. Here's my thought process. All triangles have a total of 180 degrees (at least in euclidean geometry). Since it's a right triangle we know that the angle opposite the hypotenuse is 90, that means that the sum of angle x and the other acute angle (let's call it y) equals 90. Now I made one intuitive leap that the ratio of the lengths of the sides is the same as the ratio of the angles opposite those sides. This yielded the rather simple algebraic equation and substitution : x+y=90 and so x + 7/5x = 90. Solving that: 2.4x = 90 and x = 37.50. The angles of the whole triangle would be 37.50, 52.50 and 90, which totals 180. But the video says the answer using the trig functions is 35.53 for x. So I was close but not right. Where did I go wrong? I checked, and checked my math over and over. The only thing I can think of, is that the intuitive leap was incorrect, that the ratio of angles is not equal to the ratio of side lengths opposite them? Or am I missing something else? Please help, this is bugging the crap out of me. Where did I go wrong? Thanks in advance.

To be fair I don't use much math of any kind for practical purposes, I just like to program math expressions of various sorts in my favorite programming languages to keep my mind active as I'm retired and don't really have much else to do, mentally speaking. I also get in a minimal amount of physical exercise to stay healthy (it's minimal due to the fact that I'm lazy, not because of any disability other than the asthma and a touch of arthritis, neither of which are severe [yet!] ).

I like watching videos on math (just keeps my brain fresh on practices I still know), but your lengthy introductions (on at least every video I've seen of yours) are just way too much. It's like half the video is you introducing yourself and drawing all these random check marks at the top screen. If you're going to repeat your lengthy introduction/advertisement on every video, maybe place it at the beginning (point of an introduction) and provide a "skip-to" time code in your description for those that don't want to wade through the same intro every video.
