My only take on high school math is fuck trigonometry — people who get to complex numbers can treat all of trig as a mildly interesting corollary, essentially no one else needs to know it.

Harmonic analysis and FFTs, two topics that are much easier to understand when expressed using complex numbers instead of trig functions.
Possibly the worst thing about trig is that the way it is taught makes it seem it is about triangles, so it’s surprising when sine turns up in the study of periodic functions. If you learn it as a corollary of complex numbers, it is not surprising and in fact makes total sense.
