Death of Trig

Big news guys, someone has abolished Trig.

My roommate Miguel found this article about Trigonometry. It says that some professor in Austrialia has rewriten the rules of Trig, and gotten rid of Sine, Cosine, and Tangent. Very interesting, hmm...

I would have posted the entire article, but it would have been a pretty big post. Read the article and tell me what you think.

I found that sine cosine and tangent are quite easy. It is just time consuming. What, so SOHCAHTOA isn't good enough for people, that they have to get rid of it?

But I guess, if he found an easier way, then I will accept it.

i always liked trig... trig and geometry. i m awful at algebra. i liked being able to see the shapes. i didnt even mind proofs. they just made sense to me (not that i could do one now... something about side angle side but not angle side side lol)
