Professor! You son of a bitch!

Cosine is just sine shifted over? And tangent is just sine divided by sine shifted over?!
And all these goddamned reciprocal functions are just that stuff flipped!?
I spent months! Goddamned months getting fluent with the behavior of these things as if they were animals in a zoo of trig functions. They're all just sine you bastard! Just variations on sine!
Look, they'll all be really useful if you're ever lost at sea and need to calculate latitude and have no calculator but happen to be in possession of a book of trigonometric tables.
That should be on page one of the textbook.
Would you take that course?
