no wonder I don't know it. I took trig in college from an emeritus who they let teach one class a year... and he thought trig was boring and taught calc instead. Over half the class dropped and half of those left (8 of us total) failed. I got a C b/c boy helped me make sense of it >.<
oh that's very annoying! I missed trigonometry because I would've taken it in 8th grade and I went to a relatively new charter school that year -- so high school math was all handled by one guy, who was overwhelmed with a class full of high schoolers who'd mostly enrolled in the charter school because they were expelled from local public schools
He seemed like a good teacher, but he also was so fried he just gave me photocopies of textbook chapters and worksheets and had me work quietly by myself in the hall outside the classroom
i skipped trig. not because anyone recommended that, just because everyone talked about hating trig so i decided to go straight from algebra 2 to calc (because teenager logic?) and no one stopped me. since the records were still paper then, i think no one noticed that i opted myself out of a prerequisite.

and then one single stats class in college to cover my math requirement; it was called "discovering statistics" and was very blatantly the class you took if you were awful at math but needed to get that requirement out of the way
