Sage Wintle, Math 1060

Trigonometry has been an interesting course, I found that the use of sine, cosine,

and tangent is much broader than Trigonometry is used in something as simple as

making a turn in your car, to a carpenter cutting carpet, to an architect building a

foundation of a new home. It is amazing to see how useful this course is in our daily

lives without even noticing. I know that machines used in many career fields have been

built with the use of trigonometry. It is needed to place an IV or give an epidural, and

during surgery it is used to make incisions, and so on. I found trigonometry interesting

because it opened my eyes to how much it is used everyday by so many different

people and careers. For example the cardioid microphones that we learned about! I can

see how it was used to build the roads that i drive on, to build my house, and also how

computers use trigonometry. It is a fascinating subject and I would recommend it to

others to learn about to see how much it is used in their lives.
