Bring it, Cosine!

I spent most of my life thinking that I was going to grow up and be a math teacher. I could think of nothing better than that—it would be heaven.

I am now in Math Hell.

Work has unceremoniously tossed me into the ring, and I now find myself embroiled in a steel-cage death match. But it’s not mano a mano. Nay, it’s a free for all with me in one corner, the Pythagorean Theorem in the corner opposite, Quadratic Bezier Curves clinging to the walls, and the formulas for sine, cosine and tangent, all dangling from the ceiling, heckling me. Please. Someone save me.

    I’m so clueless about math that when I saw the title of your post, I thought you had misspelled “cousin.” Cosines don’t enter my head anymore.

  3. That gave me a headache. Math is real hard.

    I’m with Bre. You speak a different language my friend.

  9. I’m pretty good with math. Cosine is my friend. I didn’t think he’d be so mean as to heckle you. I’ve never met Mr. Bezier Curve, however, so I can’t say anything about HIS character.

  11. He’s a total prick. Trust me.
