Well, it’s something like the difference between { x: null } and { }.

Well, at least it is used in place of a number. But what about QED.?

NaN makes for a better Chaotic Evil, QED could just as well be Neutral Evil.

However QED always stands in the bottom right corner, I guess that makes the author of this chart lawfully evil

I’ve taken like four or five advanced trigonometry courses and I still can’t really define what trigonometry is. Mathematics is like Andrew Tate’s Hustler University scam. If you take one class, it only exists to prove that you’re a mark and sell you more classes.

Trig is basically the study of a wiggly line and how it turns out to be useful everywhere

I enjoyed the trigonometry unit in my highschool geometry class, but that’s because it was mostly proofs, and those were just philosophy about triangles.

I have a masters in math and I have no fucking idea what a second course in “advanced trigonometry” looks like much less a fifth
