A full circle is 2pi, just fraction it out evenly for position, and make the radius 1.
Thats all you need to know literally anything else if you know how a triangle works.
I don't believe you have a degree in math, and that's not the derivative of sin.
If anything, I think you are the one who plugged and chugged an engineering degree. You aren't supposed to memorize tons of formulas and values, you just learn relations and everything makes sense.
I also have a math degree and its from an average school, and I was an average student, so my standards are not extreme.
Using wolfram and calculators will not give you true analytic solutions and they are relatively worthless outside of extremely basic problems.
Its not trivial, its foundational and very powerful/cool. How can you be so dismissive of it? Your post made me angry.
>>14307555>This uni doesn't even check for cheating other than the automated system that compares your submission to the rest of the submissionsThat sucks man. Those cheaters may not get filtered today, but they certainly will tomorrow, and they will never get rec letters. Focus on yourself, learning the material properly, and your effort and passion will be seen by professors. Intro classes are hundreds of students, but that doesn't down quick later down the line.
