ladyskydiver 0 #1 September 14, 2005 Ok...so it's been a "few" years since I have done trig, and my Physics 105 class is trig based. Any websites that you know of that are good refreshers on Trig?Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

rasmack 0 #2 September 14, 2005 Trig = Trigonometry? Are we talking classical mechanics with vectors and projections 'n' stuff?HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

ladyskydiver 0 #3 September 14, 2005 Yes, trig = trigonometry. And, it is the classical vectors, sin, cos, tan, etc. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

rasmack 0 #4 September 14, 2005 I'd say that if you feel you need advanced trigonometry for a physics course, you are probably doing it wrong, but if you just can't remember the basics: http://www.math2.org/math/algebra/functions/trig/ http://mcraefamily.com/MathHelp/GeometryVectorDotProduct.htm http://mcraefamily.com/MathHelp/GeometryVectorCrossProduct.htmHF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Remster 30 #5 September 14, 2005 Thats what I remembered from my trig courses: tang op ad (tangent of angle = opposite/adjacent) cos ad hyp (cosinus of angle = adjacent/hypotenus) sin op hy (sinus of angle = opposite/ hypotenus) In Radiants of course!Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #6 September 14, 2005 The opposite of b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac all over 2a. I remember the formula because we recited it every day for a month , but forgot what it does or the name. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
