    Hint for the future, while using a calculator you usually have a small letter shown at the top, so you know what is the currently used unit of the angle, and it’s as follows:
    - D (degree),
    - R (radian),
    - G (gradian, which is 1/100 of a right angle).

    • @chessimprovement4180
      @chessimprovement4180 Před rokem +1

      That depends on where the value acquired in degree mode comes into play. For example, he could be dividing by said value in the given formula.
      For example:
      5/sin(60) would require dividing by pi/180 (or 180/pi). Thus the conversion isn’t nearly as simple, especially with a large formula

    • @chessimprovement4180
      @chessimprovement4180 Před rokem +1

      Also on second thought, this applies to the angle value being plugged into the trigonometric formula. So 50 degrees * pi/180 would give you radians to then plug into the formula. In short, multiplying 0.33 by pi/180 isn’t the right answer (in fact it’s likely be way off).

    As an AE major and Applied math minor, I think the world can go without degrees.

    pls I want to study the course pls what should I do I love this course very much

  • @mentally-stable-human

    I am in college right now but soon when i graduate i would have to choose subjects. My goal is to work for NASA as an aerospace engineer. I know i dream big but if anyone has time then plz tell me exactly what should i do if my country doesn't have good university for aerspace engineering.
    But aeronautics is available. Am i supposed to get Bsc on aeronautics and get Master's degree from us university on aerospace engineering?
    Then would that be enough to atleast try for NASA? Or do i have to try some other majors. I have only a few months remaining. I hope i can try my best. Just plz help with me with some information

    Is it worth it to get an associates degree in aviation technology and then go to university for aerospace?

    When radians are basically useless irl but u still have to use them

      Depends what you do "irl". Having a direct relationship between radius and arc-length is extremely convenient in geometry, and many engineering problems can be represented geometrically. Degrees are more arbitrary (why 360?) but fundamentally related to the radian through the pi constant.

    Nah but quick question, when I take this course, I won’t be forced to take English and all those other tragedies of courses in high school?? Because I hate them, they take away my precious precious time to focus on what I actually NEED 😂

    That used to be our high-school issues. And still can be.
    But as an electrical engineer, we are much more worried about our imaginary axis that we have to work on. Our math is all based on that "iota" element you see, the things that don't even exist.

      Don’t go to med school! It’s a nightmare 😂!! Do a four year Engineering degree. You’ll be a lot happier
