    It’s the exposure that undermines it. Their isn’t enough exposure to real life application and examples. How many people never realise that velocity is a derivative of position over time or acceleration is a derivative of velocity over time. Or that the speed of light is a horizontal asymptote for matter.

    It’s because trigonometry is used to teach people geometry and nothing in real life application. You want basic trigonometry in real life we should use physics as a basis for why trigonometry is useful in real life. You can’t expect theory to be used in practicality when nobody has any experience.
