    Dear Teacher, I am writing to inform you that for the first time in my life (I'm 55 years old), I have finally understood the Trig functions concept. I have read a million times, over the years that the angle sin0 is Opp/Hyp, but I have never understood what the heck everyone was talking about until I watched this videos. Everything fits into place for me now. Why am I even watching this video at the age of 55? Well, my daughter is struggling with this concept as well. I wanted to revisit the topic and see if I could help her. I am glad I found you. Over the years that I have watched your videos, I think you are the most effective teacher I have ever seen. The concept of "chopping factor" is a miracle. Concept this simple, I don't know why the teachers can't really explain it clearly to their students. Could it be that they themselves are just repeating what they memorized, without any understanding?

We did one of those tests where they figure out what career field you would be best at and they basically told me I'd be in fast food my whole life. Fast forward and I'm now working on getting the credits I was missing from being behind as a kid, so I can get into college for a science related degree. This guy makes everything so much easier to understand and, with a teacher like this growing up, I would have gone so much further by now.

Instead of the unrealistic goal of having thousands of teachers like this one, broadcast this lesson into thousands of classrooms replacing ineffective teachers. Much better results at much lower cost.

I took other videos on Trigonometry many years ago because I liked it. Now I’m retired and visiting Trig once again with you Jason. For me you hit a grand slam when you related it to force. I can visualize it, period. I will rewatch it as you suggested then move to your next class. I regret the way I was taught math in my early life.

The only problem was major. I had never heard of anyone being sent "ahead" so I took it as rejection and thought my teachers did it to be rid of me, because I was the boy with the problem, I asked too many questions. I was also from a poor working class family and had to leave school to work at the earliest opportunity. I knew that but my teachers didn't.

    Small correction: If the hypothenuse is 5, that does not, by definition, mean the other two sides are 3 and 4. Which is what you seem to imply at around 5.20...... Let the hypothenuse be the radius of a unit circle, r=5. I can now rotate R and subsequently construct an infinite number of right triangles, hyp=5 but with varying lengths of the other two sides. A 3-4-5 triangle is just one of many possibilities.

      @Ca Study sorry you are wrong and so is the teacher. The opposite could be 1 and the adjacent could be the square root of 24 for example. Use Pythagoras' Theorum. In a right angled triangle the hypotenuse squared = opposite squared + adjacent squared, so with a right-angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 can have any lengths of opposite and adjacent whose squares add up to 25. 3 and 4 may be the only 2 whole numbers whose squares add to 25 but there are an infinite number of non-integral numbers of values greater than 0 but less than 5

    1 cls 'clean the screen
    10 for n=1 to 360 'counts 360 degrees of the circle
    20 plot 320+100*sin(n), 200+100*cos(n) 'draw dots of the circle centered at coordinates 320 x pixels, 200 y pixels, and a radius of 100 pixels
    30 Next n
    40 end
    Do you want to try it? Download winape amstrad cpc emulator, type the program pressing enter or return at end of the lines and then typing run and typing enter or return again, you will see the circle being drawn dot by dot on the screen of your computer, want a filled circle ? Add 15 plot 320, 200 and change the 20 plot command in 20 draw using the command edit 20 command and [RETURN]

    Phenomenal. I’m helping my 14 year old grandson with his trigonometry. He could do it but I could tell he didn’t know what he was ‘actually’ doing. I found this video and we followed it together…pausing so he could rephrase the points in his own words . Now he ‘gets’ what he is doing.
    I aced math throughout high school and second year Calculus in university. . Confession, I had no idea what I was doing until I had to apply it as a geophysicist. Your 48 minute lecture would have been invaluable when I was my grandson’s age… the better understanding, the more fascinating math becomes instead of a hurdle to get over. Most importantly, my grandson now has a positive towards his math class.

      @dospy1 4 роки тому +4

      It is a bit more nuanced than that. What it effectively means is that if you push with 5N on that angle for lets say a distance of 500m (calculated diagonally), it is as if you pushed first horizontally with 4N for 400m and then vertically with 3N for 300m. This is the reason why the values cannot be "directly" added, because the split of 5N into 4N and 3N does not mean that the two resulted forces are applied for the same diatance as the original one.
      We could get the same results by calculating in time. The core idea is that the resulted forces are not applied in the exact same conditions, so that is why you cant just add them to get original force.

    • @emvill4520
      @emvill4520 4 роки тому +8

      His explanation mathematically is correct but the way he explained what is going on with regards to the forces is wrong or misleading.
      He should have used Joules... but let's go with this. The actual explanation is that the Hypotenuse is shorter compared to the Horizontal (Adjacent) and Vertical (Opposite) lines added together. So if you needed 5N to push the box through the length or distance of the Hypotenuse, you would need more force if you push the box Horizontally first and then go Vertical because the total length or distance traveled is LONGER. So going horizontal and then vertical would require 7N because of the longer distance the box would have to travel. I hope this makes sense.

I disagree with the comment that says you'll forget it all later. Once you learn math, you can devote your life to science or engineering and help humanity. I'm a 70+ year old chemical engineer and I've used this stuff my entire life, even in my woodworking hobbies, and so much else (I also code as a hobby).
      The magic of math is it develops the parts of your brain that think logically, instead of emotionally. You will see the world and the universe differently when that brain muscle has been developed and exercised.

    ok... so if X = 0.8 and Y =0.6
    so... X means 80% of the force of THE HYP is in X
    Y must therefore before 20% because hyp Is a representation of a whole

      You're dealing with a right triangle. So your equation *hypothenuse = x + y* ( from your *100% = 80% + 60%* ) is wrong. A hypothenuse is never the sum of the opposite and the adjacent. It has to be *hypothenuse² = x² + y²* as in the pythagorean theorem *c² = a² + b²* , so its *100² = 80² + 60²* or *1² = 0.8² + 0.6²*

      @NRG When you walk 5meters on a hill slanted at 36.87°, you are horizontally 4 meters away from where you started going up and are 3 meters high from the ground. This diagonal movement doesn't mean you have walked 4 meters plus 3 meters. You WALKED UP 5 METERS at an angle of 36.87°.
      In the same way, if you walk 100 meters on thay same hill slanted at 36.87°, you are horizontally 80 meters away from your departing point, and 60 meters vertically up.
      You are thinking that the "total force" mentionned means literally the toral sum of two different numbers. What he implies by the "total" is, if that digonal line at an angle of 36.87 is 1unit (which is 1.00 o read 100 PERCENT) than the vertical line is 0.6 (which can be also read as 60%) and your horizontal line is always 0.8 (or 80%). Or put it differently, if your diagonal is a certain number, your vertical line is 60% of that number and the horizontal 80%.

    OMG I was just searching about sin and cosine for my little girl who is in secondary and she is so confused about it. instead I had a lecture for my self. wish I had it some 40 years back. we learnt the formulas and crammed it just to solve questions. knowing the real definition settles everything and last for ever. Master class. Thank you Sir. Salute.

    I think I can remember this now I will watch at least 1 more time. At 72 I found other ways around not knowing with help from many engineers (thanks to many) in my life. Your students don’t know how lucky they are to have you as a teacher! Mike

    I had a hell of a time in my university calculus class. I wish I knew this concept in high school, it would have changed my academic life. I am 75 years old now and I can scratch this bucket item. Thank you!
