About the event
What if trigonometry wasn’t a bag of triangle tricks, but a window into something deeper—something to do with motion and beautifully connected to the world around us? In this 90-minute session, we’ll break from the usual memorized ratios and go on a journey that starts not with a triangle, but with a circle. We’ll see how spinning around a circle gives rise to trigonometry and how mathematicians and scientists use the results.
This session is for curious students and adults who may have felt lost or bored by trigonometry in school. We’ll rebuild their understanding from the ground up, giving them not just the “how,” but the thrilling “why.” They'll leave with a fresh appreciation for how these ideas describe rhythms, orbits, light, and sound—not just test questions. It’s trigonometry as revelation, not repetition.
