Mathematics students have cause to celebrate. A University of New South Wales academic, Dr Norman Wildberger, has rewritten the arcane rules of trigonometry and eliminated sines, cosines and tangents from the trigonometric toolkit.
What's more, his simple new framework means calculations can be done without trigonometric tables or calculators, yet often with greater accuracy.
Really?

Crazy. But why isn't the title "New Trigonomety is a sine of the times"?
Cool! That was the part of math I was bad at! (also, very clever, nicole!)
