Oh I know, I at least got through Calculus. I'm just saying that in the 15+ years it's been since I took trig, I don't remember any trig past that, lol. My jobs have never required that kind of math (though it did make certain things in other clases super-easy, so I'd never call it worthless).

I'm a theoretical physicist so it's safe to say I've done a fair bit of mathematics along the way.

There is fucking nothing else to trig except sohcahtoa anyway. And even that I just derive whenever I need it.

That "cot" and "sec" crap they try to feed you? Nobody does that outside high school. It only exists because it's useful if you're a fucking eighteenth century navigator trying to use a fucking sextant and has stayed in the curriculum because... it's there.
