Notes for Unit Circle (1 Viewer)

Explain. Which method does he teach? Graphically?

I never learnt it as ASTC either. I actually understood how the circle worked, so I derived all my expressions myself.

It really helped when it came to Complex Numbers.

That reminds me, if OP is online. Unfortunately I cannot finish my typing today as I have to do some notes for particular subjects.

I'm in the same boat as you, I don't remember ASTC, I just know when y is positive sin is positive, when x is positive cos is positive, and x and y are the same sign, tan is positive.

 

[Carrotsticks]

Graphically should be how it's learnt, and ASTC should be how it's remembered, in my opinion.

But why should it be 'remembered' at all? Why not simply understand it so no memorising is needed?

But when you understand you are actually memorising in a sense. It is not until it has been proved that the human mind fully accepts a piece of logic.

Was directed more at the average student rather than some one who can understand it easily.

ASTC is just as viable so yeah....

Yeah, graphically, but later you're not expected to draw the circle anymore. Dr. Truong doesn't teach me, but the teacher I have said that ASTC doesn't always work and he'll show us later why that is the case.

But then again, PEAK uses it, so it doesn't really matter in the end.

Creativity in Maths is good. Having 2 ways to do things is always better than having only 1 way to do it.

@Spiralflex:
How does Harry's Education, or Harry himself, teach it? The unit circle way or ASTC or both?

 

[RealiseNothing]

For the sake of it, my school teaches it graphically.

I don't know, I only joined in Year 11. My Year 7 tutor taught us graphically asian style...

You had a tutor for Year 7? lol geez....

I started maths tutoring (tuition centres really) in Year 3 because I was apparently a slow learner in terms of literacy and numeracy!

I remember ASTC as All Students Take Classes...although I did not learn how this circle definition came about. Could someone please explain it to me??? Or is it too complex to bother understanding???

Not all students take classes

Explaining the unit circle properly via typing is quite difficult. You're better off asking your maths teacher where ASTC comes from. It's good to see that you're smart enough to actually question these things, rather than just rote learning.

Thanks for the advice, I'll ask my maths teacher when school begins
