I'm 65 and taking college trig right now. I haven't done any trig for almost 50 years and these videos are like a breath of fresh air. I learn something better if I know the why and not just the how.
In several other first world countries you would have had a math teacher like this, but it would’ve been in late elementary school, not high school. This hypothetical teacher would not have had union pressuring the state to hire only education majors, excluding math and science majors.
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?
I almost didn’t graduate high school because of math. I slipped behind once and never caught up again. Fast forward, I’m 22 and I’ve decided to spontaneously pursue physics. I watch your videos religiously. I didn’t realize how highly intelligent I could be with the correct teacher. Your work is very much appreciated thank you for your quality and dedication
Same here! Grew up being a failing student, until I reached high school and got teachers that actually cared about me. 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.
I’m pretty sure most observers feel that they would have had not only a better understanding of the subject, but ,also would have enjoyed the lesson and presentation. This gentleman was born to teach. Humble and erudite..Bravo!
No, this country, which is behind most first world countries in STEM education, needs THIS teacher to replace the education majors who cannot teach a subject they themselves do not understand. 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.

He is the best at his topic. I wish he could also break down calculus and simultaneous equations into their intuitive versions. None of us is bad at math I am realizing. It is just how we r taught that messes us and bruises our confidence in the process.
How can you put in 5N and get out 4N and 3N?! If I had to build a dye requiring a 4N force right and a force of 3N up.. could I achieve that? If that is true, then wouldnt a magnetic force also work along the same principle and be proof for over unity?

I'm a mostly happy 88 year old who had major problems with math in high school. You, sir , broke through a lot of ancient haze tonight for which I'm grateful since I can "assume" that maybe I'm not as dumb as I thought ! Thank you for your patience and clarity in explaining sin and cosine.
If a man keeps me interested over 40 minutes in something that I have no idea what’s he’s talking about it’s because the man knows what’s he’s talking about and suddenly trigonometry feels right. My respects to this teacher.
I m 45 years old I love Math but really I wish we had UA-cam on our days 💔 I keep watching your videos till 4:00 am they are much enjoyable than Netflix 😇
I failed anything to do with math in high school. While attending a technical school, I had a teacher that sparked my interest in math & Trig. He even taught the slide rule. 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. Thank You
At my school in Drumchapel, Scotland in the sixties I was completely confussed by trigonometry. After this lesson I now understand the meaning of Sine & Cos and now I just want to learn more from you to prove to myself I was not really the dummy I thought I was. Keep doing what your doing, it makes a big difference.
Your trig class showed you all this material. You just werent ready for it, or didnt care. Generally at that age all people are typically thinking about is the hairy end of a belly
It is unusual for someone who is 69 yrs old sitting in the late evening at his home in India, watching this. Despite the drawback of catching up with the speed and accent (i relied on CC), I really felt that I would roll back to 55 years and sit in my class again and listen aptly the mathematical jargon. I really remember my high school Maths teacher talking Sin Teta and Con Teta and forced to learn those things. I would love to be a Maths teacher...but...you know, I keep listening to you as to when youtube obliges me. Thank you, Sir.
I graduated A engineer but I can say that I never say math made so easily to understand. I wished most math professor were like you. More people would definitely love math.
This man is legend! I used to watch and learn from his calculus teachings and his videos helped me a lot while in college although he was young man that time, 13+ years ago. Thank you for teaching.
A blessing for elementary students to have this kind of conceptual knowledge and clarity about this enigmatic concept i. e. 'The Trigonometry'. Hats off to you and hoping that you 'll teach with the same enthusiasm and dedication for various topics.
This is the best lesson on sine and cosine I have ever seen. I've been using them for years. I really wish that I had a teacher like you back in high school. Congratulations! Our world can definitely use more people like you. Keep up the outstanding work.
Incredible! 60 years ago my math teacher was unable to make me understand sin&cos and I stuck with Pythagoras! Thank you so much for finally making me getting it at 75!🤗
The US ranks poorly among other first world countries in primary and secondary STEM education. The US needs this educational content to replace education majors who cannot teach what they do not understand
The GOAT. I figured you'd have a decent video about the topic and the first thing you say is "I'm gonna spend some time and really define it so you really understand what they mean" That's exactly what I was looking for
Im 40 years old with MBA degree , i never knew what is sin and cos are until i watched your video. Why teachers are not like you in teaching . Very much appreciated the way you teach . Thanks 🌹🌹🌹
I'm almost 70 years of age, and working for 5 different major oil companies early in life, the pipe trade in fitting requires knowing right angle trigonometry, this is a powerful math to know, it will reward you greatly to learn it.
I used cosine and tangent when I was building houses, to set out the framing for roof trusses, I wasn't interested in this at school, but when I became a builder , it came in very handy .
Me too. As a 16 year old I never understood why I was learning this. Now I measure the length of walls roofs windows in architactical drawings and than the software makes a report of energy loss for the co2 problem in this world, every new house must have a report like this now.
This practical knowledgeable shouod be transferred to people who are trying to learn this. Its people like you who must make some videos on this with demonstrations. Would be much easier and quick to assimilate the concepts.
If only you were my instructor back at school, I may have enjoyed and eventually got a passing grade in math! I love all your videos! I never got to trigonometry, but you make it understandable! I love it! Thank you!
When I was a kid in Glasgow, I was sent to Secondary school a year and some months early. I was put into "Prep A" and I was taking math, chemistry and physics as well as the usual classes, English, Art and Music. I was put into a course with a few other kids, called "New Math" . 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. I had to leave at 15 yrs and I went to work 6 days a week and gave my wages to my mother. I was the sole support for my mother, myself and two brothers at 15 years old. I am 69 now and still read educational and scientific materials all day, every day. I wish I could sit in on university lectures and just learn
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
I learned with this lesson more than the whole time that I studied in high school, even in the College. The teacher has a great examples to show how its would be easier to student figure it out, for me it was that I almost see the vector was moving.
I am 70+ years old and hold a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology. To work in the electronics field, it is imperative that one is well versed in trig. This man is exceptional with mathematical skills. See below how I taught trig functions to my boys when they were having trouble with trig. There once was an Indian chief named SOH CAH TOA. He thought for a long time how he could get the maximum distance out of his arrows when he was hunting game. Then one day as he was putting on his war paint =/ =/ the answer suddenly came. S=O/H C=A/H T=O/A. And so it was that trigonometry came to be.
I am speechless of what you have done. I really appreciate and it it was the best way of understanding the sine and cosine, which I have never seen it before. Tanks for this great job.

I have watched so many people here teaching sciences but but the way this guys explains these chapters is awesome, way aboooooove others. His accent is very easy for me, and the formulas other teachers come and throw on the blackboard this guy explains them from their beginning and how they came to life. I simply loooooove his methods. Thumbs up, man!
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. Calculator? Ha! I learned using a slide rule and tables.
This guy is brilliant - I wish I had him as a teacher - Now I actually understand what the hell Sine & Cosine are - I've seen them on calculators for years ! Many thanks.....all the way from London.
I have always had hatred for mathematics. But your way of teaching and making us understand the basic fundamentals is absolutely outstanding. If you were my teacher then my life would have been a different today. Thanks
Loved the way you teach with so much energy and enthusiasm. However, its wrong and misleading to explain the force 5N splits to 4N and 3N. It could have been like 4N and 3N is needed to produce an effective 5 in the 3rd direction.
Furthermore, it is NOT correct to say that if the hypotenuse is 5, the other two sides MUST be 3 and 4. They may be, but they could also be something else entirely, for example 2 and 4.582.
@@Herlongian a right triangle with an hypotenuse of 5 could have other sides of length 1 and SQRT(24), or 2 and SQRT(21), The video is completely wrong to say that all right triangles with a hypotenuse of 5 have other sides of 3 and 4.
This channel put out a video with some great information to help people get an understanding of what is going on in a 48 minute video. How long would this video be explaining every little nuance. Splitting N force proper and alternate right triangles with hypotenuse of 5. This is a starting place, and a HUGE help to most watching. You guys coming here critiquing this video have no video of your own.
This guy is a King at explaining math and science. (having an engineering degree instead of just being a "math professor" probably helps too. I was here just for a refresher.
Good Lecture. One observation: from the Physics point of view, when you decompose the 5N force into the horizontal and vertical components, these components need to have the same origin ... also common with the 5N force .This would also help when you use the projection on the y direction.
Is this free?! Sir, I would like to thank you for your presentation. You literally made it seem simple. I can't believe how much I learned about Trigonometry in only 48 minutes of your teaching. I know this is just the basic understanding of what you work with but your examples made a huge difference in the way I understand it. Thank you very much for taking the time to share this. I honestly wish there were more teachers/professors like you out there. I will be going over this again and look forward to more knowledge about the subject. As trivial as it is, an instant like and subscribed for me. Thank you.
I finally got it. Thanks a lot. My teacher in gaza, palestine made me memorize it, and i didnt understand what i memorized and why I had to memorize it. Now I am 45 years old and I understood. Thanks a lot. You are the best teacher ever
I'm 55years old lady I love maths very much even at school. I never think in my life I will understand maths the way I am now. Thank you so much for refreshing my mind even for others at my age. I enjoy this too much . May God bless you with many more years
Sir I salute you .i wish you were there when i was losing my mind over this.Never thought it was this simple.You are a perfect example of creation.Respect
Thank you! Old textbooks were simple and basic lessons, with a history lesson of why you were doing something. I’ve been buying early 1900’s university books off eBay. These new books have way too many pictures of panda bears and no reasoning for the lessons...
It is just easy to understand because Jason shows firstly the need and then the invented solution for the problem, which is more intuitive. Congrats for the approach, you are so talented.
finally I met the perfect math teacher in my entire life. I would like to see a book from beginner to advanced in maths. please write a book it would be a legacy for you and beneficial to the generations to come.
Sir it is indeed a pleasure to be able to follow your lectures, It open my eyes on how math really works on how you explain it smoothly. Back in the old days we really did not under stand our teachers when it comes to math we were afraid that we may not pass the exams. Our teachers cannot teach us as good as you do. I hope that you can continue to help and inspire million more people will be interested in math thank you very much your a gift from above keep up the good work. I salute you..
I had a discussion with my 14-y.o. nephew about which math that we like best. Mine is trigonometry and his least fave is trig all because he said he doesn't see the logic in sine and cosine. I forced him to watch this video and now he said he doesn't hate trig anymore. He said he had never thought of sine and cosine as ratio of force projection! Wwoohhhooo! You saved my nephew from missing out on trig! I am profoundly thankful🙏🏼🌹🌿🙏🏼
if you define the hypotenuse of a right triangle as 1, the sines of those 2 other angles are the lengths of the legs opposite the angles, and the cosines the length of the legs adjacent
To quote a previous question - -" when you start - if I am pushing with 5N and that force divides into 4 n and 3n - if I could extract those forces seperately I now have 7N total -" HOw can one get 7 N of force from 5 ? I would realy,realy like an answer
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.
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.
OMG, after watching many, and I mean many videos and textbook reading this is the absolute best resource I have come across. Wow, great job!!!!!! If you need Trig please watch this video. Its long but you will have a better understanding then anyone in the class. TRUST ME!!!!!
Damn !!! This is the first time Ive understood this subject. You got the talent to teach this subject that most Math teachers dont have, and thats a fact . Im 75 and I finally made sense of sine and cosine. Id like to hear the rest of the Trig functions explained AND applied . Thank you ! I always want to know the WHY of math concepts, but no one has ever explained them. Now someone HAS !
Bruh good for you kid, when I was at 8th grade I wanted to learn Calculus so that I don't stress out learning. But turns out my knowledge is far left behind. Now I'm currently in 9th grade lol, currently discussing Trigonometry. Goodluck!
No need to stress! The beauty of math is it is totally logical and consistent, unlike most of your other classes. All you have to do is learn the rules, do some homework, and you will succeed. 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. What do you use to code, Arduino?
Some teachers just have this special talent about them where they can break down anything and make you understand while keeping you engaged. This gentleman has that special talent. Now if he can teach me how to build a time machine.
When I went to school, the only tools we had for these studies, were a slide rule and log book. The slide rule I used to draw straight lines with, and the log book was just a schoolbag filler, as I had NO idea of what I was meant to be studying. This is SOOOO much easier than what was ever explained to me, and the calculator makes things so much more simple. Cheers from Downunder!
Yes, logarithmic tables. It had important formulae of mathematics and physics. We were not allowed to carry them in the examination hall. If we had to use, the invigilators would give us copies of the log.
I am an engineer trained in the 60s and 70s. So I too remember the tables and the slide rule of course. Recently I tried to do a long division with pencil and paper and you know I couldn't remember how to do it! Took a while and some trial and error to relearn. Makes you really appreciate the power of a spreadsheets! Funnily enough using a slide rule's functions came back immediately and automatically last time I tried even after perhaps 40 years not touching one. .
I really enjoyed science in school. I was good at it but Trig Stopped Me! I got an A+ Precalculus but I couldn’t move forward. I could never understand sin and cosin. After wasting so much time, it only took a 45 minutes video from someone I didn’t pay a cent to get it. Thank you so much sir.
This man is a genius. He realizes the value of answering the age-old question every wise-ass kid has in school..." when will I ever need this?" It's shocking how many teachers never answered that question. It would have been so helpful to me personally, which is why I'm here now in my twilight years. It is only fitting that a hero of this caliber would be able to lift both feet off the ground at the same time. I wish him length... and girth.
Ok... I HAVE A QUESTION I understand that HYPOTHENUSE is the WHOLE, the 100% if you will I understand that the Cosine and Sine are a FRACTION of the Hypothenuse or more specifically A RATIO in both X direction and Y direction RELATIVE TO HYP 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 hence if it was a straight line it would be 1.0 How do we conclude that 80% + 60% = 100% ?
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%. I'm not usually good at explaining math but I hope this helped.
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.
Me Too! 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'm a mostly happy 88 year old who had major problems with math in high school. You, sir , broke through a lot of ancient haze tonight for which I'm grateful since I can "assume" that maybe I'm not as dumb as I thought ! Thank you for your patience and clarity in explaining sin and cosine.
I'm in 8th grade preparing for next year and you are somehow able to convey these concepts to me perfectly. Thank you.
If a man keeps me interested over 40 minutes in something that I have no idea what’s he’s talking about it’s because the man knows what’s he’s talking about and suddenly trigonometry feels right. My respects to this teacher.
Fantastic stuff I really enjoy math like I have never before ,I used to be bad in trigonometry but now it's a different story
Attention deficit is causing the problem

I failed anything to do with math in high school. While attending a technical school, I had a teacher that sparked my interest in math & Trig. He even taught the slide rule. 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.
Thank You
At my school in Drumchapel, Scotland in the sixties I was completely confussed by trigonometry. After this lesson I now understand the meaning of Sine & Cos and now I just want to learn more from you to prove to myself I was not really the dummy I thought I was. Keep doing what your doing, it makes a big difference.
Your trig class showed you all this material. You just werent ready for it, or didnt care. Generally at that age all people are typically thinking about is the hairy end of a belly
@@millicentsmallpenny5837 hell nah even tdy this material isnt shown in school, no way it was in the school system of the 60s
It is unusual for someone who is 69 yrs old sitting in the late evening at his home in India, watching this. Despite the drawback of catching up with the speed and accent (i relied on CC), I really felt that I would roll back to 55 years and sit in my class again and listen aptly the mathematical jargon. I really remember my high school Maths teacher talking Sin Teta and Con Teta and forced to learn those things. I would love to be a Maths teacher...but...you know, I keep listening to you as to when youtube obliges me. Thank you, Sir.

This man is legend! I used to watch and learn from his calculus teachings and his videos helped me a lot while in college although he was young man that time, 13+ years ago. Thank you for teaching.
I thought I am learning math in the class in person with a teacher who is passionate what he is doing. Thank you so much for your time and passion!
I was intrigued and now wish I had this understanding 45 years ago when I was in school.
Thank you Gordon!
A blessing for elementary students to have this kind of conceptual knowledge and clarity about this enigmatic concept i. e. 'The Trigonometry'. Hats off to you and hoping that you 'll teach with the same enthusiasm and dedication for various topics.

I used cosine and tangent when I was building houses, to set out the framing for roof trusses, I wasn't interested in this at school, but when I became a builder , it came in very handy .
Me too. As a 16 year old I never understood why I was learning this. Now I measure the length of walls roofs windows in architactical drawings and than the software makes a report of energy loss for the co2 problem in this world, every new house must have a report like this now.
This practical knowledgeable shouod be transferred to people who are trying to learn this. Its people like you who must make some videos on this with demonstrations. Would be much easier and quick to assimilate the concepts.

After 40 years , today you enlightens me on the issue im going to teach my kids. Thank you.
When I was a kid in Glasgow, I was sent to Secondary school a year and some months early. I was put into "Prep A" and I was taking math, chemistry and physics as well as the usual classes, English, Art and Music. I was put into a course with a few other kids, called "New Math" . 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.
I had to leave at 15 yrs and I went to work 6 days a week and gave my wages to my mother. I was the sole support for my mother, myself and two brothers at 15 years old.
I am 69 now and still read educational and scientific materials all day, every day. I wish I could sit in on university lectures and just learn
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.
You can construct an infinite number of triangles. Only one of those is right with a hyp of five though.
Only the 345 triangle will be a right triangle. Change any the lengths of the sides other than the radius and you don't have a right triangle.
Thanx I was just scrolling down to see if anyone had any info on this, and here it is.
😖
@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
I learned with this lesson more than the whole time that I studied in high school, even in the College. The teacher has a great examples to show how its would be easier to student figure it out, for me it was that I almost see the vector was moving.
Can you teach it???
Can you teach me please???

We learned this as SOH-CAH-TOA. Sin is opposite over hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse and tangent is opposite over adjacent.
I have watched so many people here teaching sciences but but the way this guys explains these chapters is awesome, way aboooooove others. His accent is very easy for me, and the formulas other teachers come and throw on the blackboard this guy explains them from their beginning and how they came to life. I simply loooooove his methods. Thumbs up, man!
Thanks so much! Take care!
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.
Calculator? Ha! I learned using a slide rule and tables.
Thank you so much. You are an awesome grandpa!
This guy is brilliant - I wish I had him as a teacher - Now I actually understand what the hell Sine & Cosine are - I've seen them on calculators for years !
Many thanks.....all the way from London.
I have always had hatred for mathematics. But your way of teaching and making us understand the basic fundamentals is absolutely outstanding. If you were my teacher then my life would have been a different today. Thanks
Loved the way you teach with so much energy and enthusiasm. However, its wrong and misleading to explain the force 5N splits to 4N and 3N. It could have been like 4N and 3N is needed to produce an effective 5 in the 3rd direction.
Furthermore, it is NOT correct to say that if the hypotenuse is 5, the other two sides MUST
be 3 and 4. They may be, but they could also be something else entirely, for example 2 and 4.582.
@@paulhammond61 right triangle vs non right triangle?
@@Herlongian David, all the above applies to right triangles only. If it is not a right triangle then there is no hypotenuse.
@@Herlongian a right triangle with an hypotenuse of 5 could have other sides of length 1 and SQRT(24), or 2 and SQRT(21), The video is completely wrong to say that all right triangles with a hypotenuse of 5 have other sides of 3 and 4.
This channel put out a video with some great information to help people get an understanding of what is going on in a 48 minute video. How long would this video be explaining every little nuance. Splitting N force proper and alternate right triangles with hypotenuse of 5. This is a starting place, and a HUGE help to most watching. You guys coming here critiquing this video have no video of your own.
This lesson should be the very first subject on all math subject text books. All teacher should learn this too. Great Mind think simple.
This guy is a King at explaining math and science. (having an engineering degree instead of just being a "math professor" probably helps too. I was here just for a refresher.
Good Lecture. One observation: from the Physics point of view, when you decompose the 5N force into the horizontal and vertical components, these components need to have the same origin ... also common with the 5N force .This would also help when you use the projection on the y direction.

Outstanding video and superbly narrated. Wished you would have explained why the two fractions (.8 + .6) don’t add up to one.
I had a discussion with my 14-y.o. nephew about which math that we like best. Mine is trigonometry and his least fave is trig all because he said he doesn't see the logic in sine and cosine.
I forced him to watch this video and now he said he doesn't hate trig anymore. He said he had never thought of sine and cosine as ratio of force projection!
Wwoohhhooo! You saved my nephew from missing out on trig! I am profoundly thankful🙏🏼🌹🌿🙏🏼
if you define the hypotenuse of a right triangle as 1, the sines of those 2 other angles are the lengths of the legs opposite the angles, and the cosines the length of the legs adjacent
Sir I really liked your "chopping" teaching method, Thank you I wish I had seen this 50 years ago!
Thank you so much!
To quote a previous question - -" when you start - if I am pushing with 5N
and that force divides into 4 n and 3n - if I could extract those forces seperately I now have 7N total -"
HOw can one get 7 N of force from 5 ?
I would realy,realy like an answer
Same question
I am thinking it has something to do with pythagorus.
My question too!
I knew someone else would have noticed this also. Any answers yet?
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.
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.
More than a teacher thanks teacher.... I really like the way you teach very clear and understanding
Thank you!
OMG, after watching many, and I mean many videos and textbook reading this is the absolute best resource I have come across. Wow, great job!!!!!! If you need Trig please watch this video. Its long but you will have a better understanding then anyone in the class. TRUST ME!!!!!

@@jackhoff7880 thx
No need to stress! The beauty of math is it is totally logical and consistent, unlike most of your other classes. All you have to do is learn the rules, do some homework, and you will succeed. 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.
What do you use to code, Arduino?
There's another GREAT utube math teacher: Eddie Woo. Please check out his videos on trig (and so much more math) - he's really great.
Some teachers just have this special talent about them where they can break down anything and make you understand while keeping you engaged. This gentleman has that special talent. Now if he can teach me how to build a time machine.
When I went to school, the only tools we had for these studies, were a slide rule and log book. The slide rule I used to draw straight lines with, and the log book was just a schoolbag filler, as I had NO idea of what I was meant to be studying. This is SOOOO much easier than what was ever explained to me, and the calculator makes things so much more simple. Cheers from Downunder!
I remember over 50 years ago we had books of tables sine & cosine, Logs & anti logs, no scientific calculators
Yes, logarithmic tables. It had important formulae of mathematics and physics. We were not allowed to carry them in the examination hall. If we had to use, the invigilators would give us copies of the log.
I am an engineer trained in the 60s and 70s. So I too remember the tables and the slide rule of course. Recently I tried to do a long division with pencil and paper and you know I couldn't remember how to do it! Took a while and some trial and error to relearn. Makes you really appreciate the power of a spreadsheets! Funnily enough using a slide rule's functions came back immediately and automatically last time I tried even after perhaps 40 years not touching one.
.
We used both tables and calculators and it was amazing we were able to memorize so much of the tables by cross-referencing, this was in middle school
You’re an incredible teacher, very grateful for you!
When I took trigonometry in school, I trained myself to always say "Sine ANGLE theta & Cosine ANGLE theta." Never just Sine theta & Cosine theta.
I really enjoyed science in school. I was good at it but Trig Stopped Me! I got an A+ Precalculus but I couldn’t move forward. I could never understand sin and cosin. After wasting so much time, it only took a 45 minutes video from someone I didn’t pay a cent to get it.

This man is a genius. He realizes the value of answering the age-old question every wise-ass kid has in school..." when will I ever need this?" It's shocking how many teachers never answered that question. It would have been so helpful to me personally, which is why I'm here now in my twilight years. It is only fitting that a hero of this caliber would be able to lift both feet off the ground at the same time. I wish him length... and girth.
Ok... I HAVE A QUESTION
I understand that HYPOTHENUSE is the WHOLE, the 100% if you will
I understand that the Cosine and Sine are a FRACTION of the Hypothenuse or more specifically A RATIO in both X direction and Y direction RELATIVE TO HYP
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
hence if it was a straight line it would be 1.0
How do we conclude that 80% + 60% = 100% ?
@NRG
you didn't answer my question
the question was...
How do we conclude that 80% + 60% = 100% ?
@NRG
oh.. i see
i interpreted it the wrong way.... my bad
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%.
I'm not usually good at explaining math but I hope this helped.

Thank you sir! Eagerly waiting for all these lessons to drop on the app. Take care sir!
Welcome!
Finally, I realized the sine and cosine function.
When you said "I will teach you to the bone", it feels like i am in heaven, you really did. Thank you so much :) It was worth it sir.

@@mathfullyexplained Your replies on other peoples math videos are like junk mail. Math and Science does not need any help from you.
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!
The best teacher I have ever experienced..anywhere.
