I will never date trigonometry

Posted 6 months ago → Categories: school is a 6 hour nightmare

I know I blog about inane, boring, meaningless stuff. It’s ok for me though, because blogging is a good excuse to not study for mid-course exams. If I keep telling myself that, I don’t feel bad, and if I don’t feel bad then things are good.

Sometimes when I’m revising, instead of writing things like sin^2A + cos^2A = 1, I just feel like writing 2 TIMES SHUT UP TO THE POWER OF TWO EQUALS I DON’T NEED TO KNOW THIS, DO I? I have some issues towards proving trigonometric identities. Why do I need to prove them anyway? Haven’t they already been proven? Yes, I remember my maths teacher last year talking about about how Maths isn’t to teach you anything practical, but it’s about teaching you to think in a mathematical way. Why do I need to think in a mathematical way though? Does knowing how to prove that one over cosA + whatever and whatever equals… Lets stop now, because I’m confusing myself.

In conclusion: If trigonometry were my boyfriend, I’d have dumped his confusing ass by now.

If I weren’t studying at the moment I might be doing something interesting, so maybe I could write about something… No, that’s a lie. I’m sorry, I lied.

    I don’t know about you, put I’m impartial to a bit of logarithm action, but that’s just me.

    I can’t imagine ever dating trigonometry, either. Now, if it were geometry, it might be a difference case. :P

    Y’know, I think when teachers force us to “think in a mathematical way,” they’re actually just brainwashing us. Why else would we go around randomly memorizing trig identities?

    I wouldn’t date trigonometry, but during high school, I sure would have dated my graphics calculator which had the capability of doing all those equations for me. :P

    Calculus is a waaaaay better boyfriend.

    Chrasy, you are the sin (90 - theta) to my cos theta :D

    Man, I dumped logs a long time ago, i.e. I forgot everything I ever knew about them.

    OH MY GOSH YOU’RE RIGHT. They want us to turn out just like them so they can take over the world with their stupid trigonometry ratios and identities and properties.

    In fact, they want us to become TRIANGLES. *scared*

    I heard you could play tetris on that. I need to get one of those now.

    And graphical calculators so can’t prove trig identities. You’ve forgotten it all haven’t you? :P

    Calculus dumped me when he found out I couldn’t accept the function of a function rule. I’m trying to get him to take me back D=

    As in, we are the same? <333 You are the tan(90-theta) to my cot theta. XD

    Maths ACTUALLY MAKES MY BRAIN IMPLODE. I just felt like sharing that. I shall never think in a mathematical manner, nor do I wish to. I like my arty brain complete with grammatical rules and vocabulary. :P

    Maths has tried to get in my pants in my brain before… Arty and English protection is the best kind ;)

    I am so seedy, lol.
