    I’m 35 taking pre-calculus for the first time and before I discovered your videos, I’d spent many nights between tears of confusion and maniacal laughter…also in confusion.
    You are a Godsend, thank you!
    Edit: #13 was what I was stuck on. They gave us the answers for review, but I just didn’t get the process of how they got pi/6 as the reference angle. I get it now!☺️

    I always come to your channel to find a specific answer to a question I have that my teacher didn’t cover in class and you always have the perfect answers that are easy to understand! Too bad RUclips doesn’t give away teacher of the year because you’d definitely win!

      And no one at my school ever explained it like “how far away from the x axis are you” which is the most succinct way to explain it

    Nice. Love your videos. Super clear and precise. I might be getting ahead of you here. I should probably look at subsequent vids. From a more intuitive and visual standpoint, I see the reference angle as the angle in Q1 whose coordinates you would use to determine the coordinates of any angle on the unit circle that is a multiple of the reference angle (and therefore the cosine and sine values of those angles). It's about symmetry. For example, if you have 120 degrees, the the angle most useful to you in determining the coordinates at that point around the circle is 60 degrees. Its directly opposite 120 in Q1 (symmetry wrt Y axis), and therefore the x coordinate (cosine) will be negative, and the second (sone) will be positive. The big idea is that by remembering the coordinates of angles in q1 for 30, 45, 60 degrees (although in reality you only need to remember 30 and 45), you can determine the coordinates of any angle on the unit circle that are multiples of 30, 45 and 60 via the multi-symmetrical nature of circles. Also..if you are given the, say, the sine of 37 degrees (0.0602), you can still use the concept to determine sin 143 degrees (-0.602). etc etc. Get used to quickly sketching the unit circle if you are visual learner. Ultimately, you don't use the term reference angle when you do calculus - it's a strategy to help you understand how use the unit circle to find trig function values, but most importantly to help you learn how to determine inverse trig function values. ie. the angle, (or time, for example in application problems) given a trig function value and a quadrant.

    Many thanks for this awesome video. Very interesting that you mentioned that clockwise or counterclockwise is not an issue when we're talking about reference angles and its just the scalar value of the positive acute angle which is important. At the beginning, before watching these videos I had checked several tutorials on the Web with figures indicating a reference angle with positive value yet with a clockwise orientation and I was confused that why the angle is being written as a positive. Many thanks!
