Back when I took trigonometry, they taught me positive was counterclockwise.

Edit: ah duck me, trig goes the other way round, forgot, everything else is clockwise tho

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, if positive was clockwise in trig,
y = sin xwould have a negative slope atx = 0, which I guess Albert Sine found distasteful.(I made up Albert Sine. I don't know that there's anyone specific we can attribute the invention of trigonometric functions to. But I like to imagine him sitting at a desk scribbling right triangles by candle light and scratching his head as to how he'd go about actually calculating the sine, cosine, tangent, arcsine, arccosine, etc of various arbitrary values within his lifetime.)

I had to use Google Translate creatively to get this joke, but I'm delighted none the less.
