Hey, hey!

I've assessed myself mathematically, and I'm right about here: the only thing I really know is that a radian is 180/PI.

3 * 180/PI = PI.

Or, three radians is equal to 180 degrees.
Also:
Sin = y/1 Secant = 1/x
Cos = x/1 Cosecant = 1/y
Tan = y/x Cotangent = x/y


Well, the change to radians just teaches me to view the measurement of a unit circle (or polygon) in a different way. Speaking of unit circles, I found this lovely diagram on wikipedia:

As an aside, I found a really awesome website:


This isn't as important, but partaking in this would really put you ahead since the stuff here is harder than the highschool ciriculum:


I might enter, but only if I show Mr. Max that I really care about the competitions and practice for it.

Alright, my last posts were junk. Hopefully, this will be the exception. ;)


Back to the math!
