Re: Learning Trig?

Learning trig or any math outside of school is going to involve two, possibly three, things.
First, learn LaTeX.  All of the Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Wikihow equations, identities, and math notations have LaTeX alt text.  I can't offer a tutorial as I learned it by reading the aforementioned 3 web sites and consequently learned by example.  You can find some books and some articles online that also do the same thing-or, if you look for the open source textbook movement, you can get tex files for trig and such.  In addition, ad blocking mathjax,js with adblock+ will suddenly turn Stackoverflow into LaTeX, too.
Second, videos.  You can get a lot of good stuff via iTunes University for free, including just about any math you want/need.
Third, for trig specifically-it helps a *lot* for someone to show you the relationships with an actual triangle the first time you see them.  Actually being able to apply them in your programming comes from practice and being good at mentally rotating things, but the first time is the hardest by far.  You may also want someone to show you how polar coordinates work and, depending on you, the dot and cross product may also require an explanation from someone sighted.  You can probably do the rest without help if you're determined enough, but those parts specifically are hard without diagrams.
