I think I saw it on This Old House, lol. Use it all the time now. I use angles every day as a carpenter. I try to keep learning, so in the mornings, I watch how-to videos. I love math.

    I took trig my first semester in college. Six years later, I went back to college to finish up. In my Calculus class, they ran a quick quiz the first day. It said I had a 30% chance of passing. A friend came over for supper that night and he drew out this information for me. I posted it above my work desk. It made all the difference! I very nearly got an A that semester in Calc 1. Visualization and memorization can work together to make you a master of this information.

    11:35 imo, this would have been a good spot to shoehorn the "right hand rule" in as a memory aid for the direction that the angle sweeps positive as that is also a very fundamental concept much later. "Just point your right thumb at yourself and notice the direction your fingers curl". This will also address any potential ingrained mental bias towards clockwise motion.

    Dennis, I'm 62 and this was my introduction to trigonometry. I failed algebra 1-2 and never made it to trig or calc. I grew up in a family of engineers. I used your pattern technique to memorize my multiplication tables. Couldn't remember the individual combinations of numbers but I could round things to fives and tens, extremely quickly. Your cheat isn't original but you're the first person I've ever met that taught math that way, Thank you. I went into the field of horticulture, plants. Landscaping, particularly the Japanese garden, fascinated me. It is a universally loved form of art in my field. Geometry is my native mathematical language in my head, All I see is patterns. Turns out the Japanese Gardens magic is tied up in endless triangles. Once you can visually dissect the design all you can see is the triangles. Somehow they figured out how to landscape in trigonometry. Countless acquaintances have told me I would have loved trigonometry. I would have. Thank you for tying a lifetime of interest together into one handy bow. Mark Barton

    I was an extremely good math student in high school. Won math tests and stuff... not braggin'... maybe braggin' a little. Anyway, I took calculus 2 in high school, but there was only one class that ever really frustrated me... trig. Trig was the first class that felt like memorization and math to me has always been about conceptualization... not memorization. Anyway, I had to develop the conceptual tools myself, and it was the hardest math class ever for me... I wish I'd seen this video when I was taking trig. My advice to anyone... watch this video enough times that you understand every single word. If you can wrap your brain around this video, you will be able to pass an end of course trig exam. You will only need a few more conceptual tools and memorized formulas to ace it. This video is enough framework to get you most of the way through the course. Fantastic job Mr Davis. Don't take this video down. When my kids are old enough, they WILL be watching this video.

It has helped me with a mountain of exercises since I was in 12 grade, a junior high school, I had learned Physics in general, and trigonometry in particular. At that time, I was stuck by the death circle, 'cause I couldn't remember the numbers well. But when I watched Dennis Davis's video, I completely changed my mindset to the Trig. It's easier to have a deep understanding, and, of course, Davis I'm now always visualizing not memorizing as you said! Anyway, Thank you so much for making an incredible video!

    I'm studying for my FE exam and never in my life have I ever understood trig this well. I wish these sorts of videos existed years ago when I struggled with math in high school through college. I love the concept of visualizing because I'm a visual person and most teachers don't teach that way. I felt like I always needed to memorize things I didn't even understand completely because I could not see it in my head. From the explanation of a radian, and seeing how and what it is and showing us the break down of the degrees vs the radians to the unit circle explanation was the best! I remember in one of my math classes I would spend forever either memorizing the unit circle or squeezing it into a corner on my cheat sheet lol. I always wanted to know the whys and teachers don't usually teach the whys or show us how we got certain values such as the ones on the unit circle. I'm looking forward to learning from more of your videos.

    excellent! these are the same sorts of tricks I came up with to avoid memorizing things too. It's not laziness, it's about being practical. I recognized in high School that I would never remember everything forever, and that the less I had to memorize, the more likely I would remember it long term, and focused instead on being able to use those basic core concepts to recreate or solve for anything else I needed later on. I didn't learn the concept of "first principles" until well over a decade later in life, but that's basically what we came up with.
