If you listened to music, your phone used them about a billion times. ... well, not exactly since more efficient algorithms than full perfect computation exist, but...
Same for GPS, cell signal processing, camera functions... They're all over the place. Taking that picture required it.
While it is necessary to understand the background, digitized sampling and Fourier transforms of the data don't calculate sin/cos/tan.
Like I said: more efficient algorithms have been figured out. That doesn't mean those equations are magically meaningless or not involved conceptually. Trigonometry is everywhere, doing important things.
Other than all the devices and the networks involved in your post, you mean.
What do you mean, cuz? You literally sin every day. 🤡
I prefer to cosin.
No bro, that’s illegal in most states.
:cries in arctan2:
Im basically a mathematician and never use trigonometry, but I use a lot of probability and statistics every day at work.
