its a study of trangles and not its not hard... all you need to know are the six trig functions

sin
cos
tan
cot
sec
csc

sin = y/r
cos = x/r
tan = y/x
cot= x/y
sec= r/x
csc=r/y

its dealing mostly with those functions and their inverse, its very simple really

The Texas Instruments calculator (notice the correct spelling, boys 8) ) can't really function differently than any other brand. The buttons can be arranged in a different fashion than what you are used to if you use a more inferior brand.

yes the arrangement and what must be pressed for some things are different. lol (and TIs seem to be fatter cuz of their different cover design)
