Trig identities can feel like an endless list of formulas to memorize, but they all trace back to a handful of geometric relationships on the unit circle. Maxwell breaks down how identities like double-angle and sum-to-product formulas are derived, which makes applying them to equations and proofs far more intuitive than brute-force memorization.

Trig identities and the unit circle tend to feel like arbitrary rules until someone shows you the geometry underneath them. Dillon's civil engineering training required constant use of trigonometric relationships — calculating forces, angles of elevation, structural loads — so he teaches sin, cos, and tan as tools with visible, physical meaning rather than formulas to memorize for a test.

I am an upbeat and patient tutor. I like to make learning as fun as possible, and I'm constantly learning new things.
