This week we covered some of the basics of trig. A large part of trig is slaving and proving problems using the trig identities. There are multiple identities that are used, but the cool thing about them is that they can be moved around and formed to suit the user's needs. The point of proving something using trig is not of find the answer, because it it right in front of you. The point is to show how you get to the answer and what steps must be taken. This type of work is almost like a puzzle. There is not much arithmetic involved, so it feels like you are not even doing math.
