Re: Learning Trigonometry
Before I go, do we necessarily need a calculator for trigonometry?
If someone asks you how high is that wall and you answer
you might get a dumfounded look but if you say .8660254037844386 m he is more likely to understand.
In short if you really want to be a hands on experimentalist ( Mr. Hadron Collider ) you had better get some experience with numerical math and calculators - CAS.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Re: Learning Trigonometry
Sometimes a nice closed form is good and sometimes you need the decimal answer. That is at least one spot where the calculator can help.

I stand corrected. But that just makes it more likely that humans are to blame.
