    Back in 1970, senior year of high school, I was thinking what am I ever going to need trig for. Fast forward a few years and I find out that it is necessary (or at the very least quite helpful) when you are laying out roof rafters for a house. I still love math. Numbers never lie.

    I really enjoyed the video. I asked that question, where am I going to use this. Without that you are just moving numbers on a page with no purpose. I started looking into these equations when I was trying to figure the angle of a splayed leg on a stool. I found the lengths by using “pitch or run and rise.” I marked that out using my framing square and then used a protractor. If I don’t have those things with me then I am stuck. Your explanation is easy to follow. I am glad you stressed taking good notes.

    Actually I had fun solving this using Dyalog APL instead of a calculator. The hardest part (took me about two minutes because my APL was rusty) was converting arctan into APL. Then of course because all APL trig functions are expressed in radians I had to convert rads to degrees, another 30 seconds. Great fun! I don't use trig much so I like to refresh on the basics every now and then.

  • @warrenchu6319
    @warrenchu6319 Před měsícem +1

    I was looking for a way to *compute* arctan(x) without using a table (as done by an electronic calculator), hoping this video would do that.
    Turns out arctan (x) can be expressed as a polynomial expansion series of (x) called the Maclaurin series approximation for arctan:
    arctan (x) = x - x^3/3 + x^5/5 - x^7/7 + ... (where ... means more terms and arctan(x) is in radians).
    Example1: arctan (1) = 1 - .33 + .20 - .14 = 0.73 radians, compared to the actual value arctan (1) = pi/4 or 0.78 radians or 45 degrees.
    Example2: arctan (.714285) = .714285 - .121477 + .037186 - .013552 = 0.616443 radians or 35.3 degrees (as in the video example).
    The series is infinite; the more terms you compute, the more accurate the result.

    First of all love the channel. But I'm a little confused with this problem and would welcome help from the creator of this vid or anyone else.
    So when I first viewed this problem I thought there was a way to solve it without using all of the trig functions. Here's my thought process. All triangles have a total of 180 degrees (at least in euclidean geometry). Since it's a right triangle we know that the angle opposite the hypotenuse is 90, that means that the sum of angle x and the other acute angle (let's call it y) equals 90. Now I made one intuitive leap that the ratio of the lengths of the sides is the same as the ratio of the angles opposite those sides. This yielded the rather simple algebraic equation and substitution : x+y=90 and so x + 7/5x = 90. Solving that: 2.4x = 90 and x = 37.50. The angles of the whole triangle would be 37.50, 52.50 and 90, which totals 180.
    But the video says the answer using the trig functions is 35.53 for x. So I was close but not right. Where did I go wrong? I checked, and checked my math over and over. The only thing I can think of, is that the intuitive leap was incorrect, that the ratio of angles is not equal to the ratio of side lengths opposite them? Or am I missing something else?
    Please help, this is bugging the crap out of me. Where did I go wrong? Thanks in advance.

It's like half the video is you introducing yourself and drawing all these random check marks at the top screen. If you're going to repeat your lengthy introduction/advertisement on every video, maybe place it at the beginning (point of an introduction) and provide a "skip-to" time code in your description for those that don't want to wade through the same intro every video.
