    SO
    I have an ebook for my trig course. I absolutely hate it. I'm just not grasping anything in it so far?

    I really wish the figures were right there and not in links goddamn. But is this reading like greek to any of you guys or is this textbook just not right for me?

    From how I'm reading it it boils down to:

    "Learn to draw angles in radians and you can skip having to convert to degrees.

    How to radians:

    A full counterclockwise circle is 2*pi radians.

    So an angle of pi/2 radians is a quarter counterclockwise circle (AKA 90 degrees)

    An angle of -(pi/4) is 1/8th of a clockwise circle because fractions."

    Basically radians measure how much circle is in your angle.

    Thanks @Socratease . I dunno why this is hard to read for me, esp since I've taken Trig before, it's just been a year and a half. I shouldn't be this bad yet.

    late, but if it's any help, I am finding it really hard to read and I do know the theory it's talking about already. It's just - it could have been explained in a much more simple format :/

    Thanks. It makes me feel a little bit better about struggling to read it. I mean if I could understand it, it'd probably just be a review of stuff I vaguely remember.
