What exactly is sin/cos/tan?

837 views

I get this is kind of an overdone question, but I still don’t really understand what it is. I think of math visually, and for some reason, I just can’t really get an idea of what sin and cosine “look like,” just that they are ratios.

Thanks!

I don’t have it right now and this’ll probably get deleted because it’s not really an answer but if you google “trig gif” or “sin/cosine gif” there are some really good visualizations that show the different ratios and relationships in trigonometry. There’s also, /r/trigonometry and /r/geometry, they have some stuff like that.
