    I just had to do some “find the angle” geometry this week to quantify some physical stuff that was going on in addition to what the software was causing.

    And by “do,” I mean scribbling some triangles to figure out what I was calculating, then throwing the numbers into an online calculator!

      Whenever I implement something based on trigonometry, I try around with the different functions until my tests give the expected results.

      I use them roughly monthly.

        Haha, well in my case high school geometry drew my interest and hyper focus. I will never forget the basic triangle functions/rules.
