#sinusoidal

Algebra: Okay so there are three trigonometric functions/operations, they work like this on a triangle, and you can use these various things called “identities” to work with them!

Students: Alright! This isn’t too bad!

Trigonometry: Hey, actually, uh... we also observe and work with the reciprocals of those functions, which also have their own identities.... also there’s this thing called the “unit circle”; memorize all of it.

Students: Well... it’s all still pretty easy to understand, so...

Trigonometry: Oh also we work with the inverses of each of those functions. And writing them either takes too long or makes notation confusing! You won’t be working with them too much for now, but have fun!

Students: Okaaaaay........... uh-

Calculus: Heeeeeeey. Y’know those fun derivatives you’ve been working with nonstop? The basic trig functions also have ‘em! :)

Students: ...

Calculus: And so do their reciprocals! :))))

Students: ...

Calculus: And all six of them have those integral things! :))))))

Students: ...

Calculus: Remember those inverses you went over earlier? They all have derivatives and integrals as well!! :)))))))))))
