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.

Honestly the most useful aspects of trigonometry for me were the applications to calculus / applied science. Fourier transforms are one example that jumps to kind of where it’s good to be acquainted with “simple” trig. No need for that shit in HS though.
Disagree, Fourier transforms are much better understood in terms of complex numbers, doing it in terms of sin/cos makes the whole thing unnecessarily complicated.

Agreed. Most things trig are better approached in "imaginary" terms ha!
