    Now I know why I was put off maths at school. The teacher starts off simply and then leaps ahead using language that assumes you suddenly know the basics they do. Good teachers make sure that you understand one concept before building on it to the next.

      Happening to me right now in this class. Goes off casually into lingo and only has a chance to stop for one or two students max even though they asked questions that I still needed answers too. Online Schooling from now on for me.

      They will have less precise answers (if the answer includes decimal places)

    In 500AD Aryabhatta of India used Sine firstly as Ardhajya for half chord, Which shorted to jya or jiva in due course. Then after The book Aryabhatiam translated into Arabic, then after Latin, then after Greek and English.
    English Prof. Edmund Gunter abbreviated notation Sin.

      Exactly. Indians never ever told anyone about their own inventions and nor does the world acknowledge India's contributions

    I'm really sorry but I understood absolutely nothing and the explanation was so robotic and bad. Please talk more naturally, consistently and slowly.
    I understand that you're trying to spread math like this but a short minute video on the origins of trigonometry will result in nobody understanding and your time wasted on editing, etc. However thanks for the effort

    Great concepts but the video moves too quickly. It would help if you explain the functions of cos and sin better and more slowly

    Trigonometry was originated in dholavira... Dholavira is part of Indus valley civilization...
    Sine function was also discovered by Indians...mathematicians

    you explained the ”what“ but not the how or why behind what you showed. No mention of tangent or the nature of right angle triangles. Therefore I cant say this is a good maths video.

    Nobody ever pronounces cosine as "cose", not even if they are reading an equation off the board.

      @notgabby604 Před rokem

      CZcams is widely used for time travel, as everyone knows. Of course someone could have gone back, collected Pythagoras, brought him to Egypt in the good old times and then brought him home in time for supper.

  • @vedantbidwe260
    @vedantbidwe260 Před 2 lety +2

    This is so messed up. The video is absolutely wrong! The dimmest mathematician would use trigonometry to build pyramids. Allow me to point out all the flaws in this video:
    1.) Sources state that the Greeks or the Babylonians invented trig, NOT the Eygptains.
    2.) You don't even need trig to find the slant height, just use PT with half the base and height
    3.) For the Eyptains to use Pythagorean theorem, Pythagorus would have had to invent it first! Egyptains started building pyramids in 2500 BCE, while Pythagorus was born in 570 BCE!
    4.) Unless the base and the height are equal, the circle can't touch both of the vertices.
    5.) If lets assume the base and the height are equal, then the sides can't be equal. Which means the pyramid would look as if it were tipped over!

  • @adriarubiocoll5334
    @adriarubiocoll5334 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Downvoted because you didn't share your sources, nor did you hint at the royal misstranslation that is the latin "sinus" (meaning bosom), which comes all the way from the Sanskrit "jyā", which literally means "bow-string".
    According to Hindu Trigonometry, by Bibhutibhushan Datta, the Sanskrit "jyā" was adopted by Arabic speakers and pronounced as "jiba". With time, it evolved into "jaib", and Latin translators subsequently confused it for a native Arabic word of similar phonetism which meant "bosom", or "bay".

    @utube7917 Před rokem +1

    Trigonometry and the puthagoren theorem goes back to the origins of human existence, thousands of years before Christ. It is a big part of the gnostic religions in trying to understand God and trying to become a god. It is seen throughout the mystery religions in Babylon, Egypt, Turkey, India, China, Greece, Rome and later civilizations including today. Freemasonry and other secret societies worship sacred geometry.

      Nope 😂😂 idiot trigonometry was first originated in Greeks and then aryabhatta made the trigonometry table and spread to Arabs and to the europe

    Ah yes, I see Egyptians were wondering how to do some math, so they went into the future and asked the Greeks to figure it out, then returning with this knowledge they built the the first pyramids with superb accuracy, taking credit for creating trigonometry. What the heck? The first part of this video makes no sense. The teacher makes a leap from the first Egyptians to the Greeks as if they were contemporary buddies.
