minus-squareLemminary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoDefinitely. Sometimes I wonder how hard those things would’ve been to program in my projects if I was never taught any of it in HS. It certainly made me grateful that I paid attention in those classes!
minus-squareTWeaK@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoI like to view things with quantum physics in mind. “That’s weird and counter-intuitive…”, “I guess it’s meant to be that way.” Obviously it doesn’t apply to everything, and often your gut feeling is probably right. But the philosophy helps in keeping an open mind. With trigonometry, you don’t use it directly, but AC electricity and radio waves (eg WiFi or your phone) extensively rely on it.
