sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cosine= adjacent/hypotenuse
tangent = opposite/adjacent

"Some Old Horses, Can Always Hear, Their Owners Approach"

Sin = O/H, Cos = A/H, Tan = O/A

That's the version I've heard (without the words as in Graham's version). I'd imagined it in my head to be some Native American princess.

Lately I've had a number of these funny days at work which end up being rather long despite there being few jobs to do (I work at a PC repair shop where my hours depend on the workload: I go home when the work is done). Summer is the traditional quiet period for us, though I'm not complaining about these days since it's the only way I'm getting decent hours (pay) with the limited amount of work we're getting at the moment. Yesterday was a perfect example as I wound up staying until closing (11:30 to 8:00). It generally happens because of particular repair jobs which are particularly troublesome.

Oh and I will never take a math class at night again. I am there for three hours from 6:15pm to 9:30pm, and by the last hour my brain shuts down and I start thinking of random stuff.

Ramdom numerals?

So... anyone know of a way to remember all the Trig formulas? .

*Edit* Yes, I'm aware it should be effect, I brought that up with my science teacher when he taught us it. He said it didn't matter, it was still memorable.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Damn, been years since I took any math classes. three hours? my mind would be jelly by mid-hour two, methinks.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm as pissed as a bastard. Well, you've got to make the most of it, haven't you?

[Mikey]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm as pissed as a bastard. Well, you've got to make the most of it, haven't you?

#1 - "Pissed" as in "drunk," or "pissed" as in "angry?"

#2 - Either way, are bastards generally more so than other folks?

#3 - Most of what?

[Tholian_Avenger]

So... anyone know of a way to remember all the Trig formulas? The first two chapters delt with the basics with sines and cosines and the other bullshit. At least now, we are going into using them for practical purposes.

Get yourself a piece of graph paper and draw a unit circle, start working out the coordinate points which lay on the circle and the relationship of sine and cosine.
Sin= y/r Cos= x/r Tan= y/x

Oh and I will never take a math class at night again. I am there for three hours from 6:15pm to 9:30pm, and by the last hour my brain shuts down and I start thinking of random stuff.

Reminds me of a Precalc Algebra & Trig class that I took after I got off of work; it made me hate night classes. The professor was a grizzled old Filipino-American marine sergeant, he dipped tobacco throughout class and spoke in ebonics. Matrices and iterative methods.

Well, I'll be bringing my father to lunch for Father's Day. He's a great man, one of the best I've ever personally known.

I'm bringing the kids up to see my dad - who was just (thankfully) told that he doesn't just yet need surgery on an aortal aneurysm - and then to see my father-out-law. As I told my dad on the phone yesterday, thanks: I don't always reach the example he set as a father, but I'm sure glad he set it.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I know what you mean, Mike. I had an awesome father too.

[Mikey]

Holy crap, I just got the schedule for my daughter's first softball tournament this weekend. Saturday has us playing at 8:00 am, 9:40 am, and 1:00 pm; Sunday's schedule will be based on the seedings from Saturday's games. Wonder what the schedules will look like when she's older than 7.

A friend of mine got me a copy of Nicholas Meyer's book, "The View From the Bridge" about his time in Hollywood and on Star Trek. I only just started but it's pretty interesting so far.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Mikey, need the TARDIS?

Man, almost 100 here. I know Texas and the like it's hotter. Just hot for me, you know?
