Chapter 5 : TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

Okay, now its time to update my blog again!:) This time, i'll be focussing on Chap5, trigonometric functions, one of the most interesting topics in advanced functions. I'm not being sarcastic here, really, trigo is indeed very interesting and mind-boggling. The satisfaction of solving a complex trigo question with a full-page answer is indescribable! Trust me, the feeling of accomplishment is the same as drinking a cup of hot chocolate with tiger biscuits, on a rainy day!:) it feels so g-o-o-d :) that is why I enjoy this chapter very much! Before I start off with the syllabus, let me enlighten you guys with some interesting maths facts, just as a warm up!=D
