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.

If you’re studying physics or engineering you are going to learn about complex numbers at some point so you may as well learn trig afterwards, when it will be obvious. Trig is not a prerequisite for calc anyway, even though people treat it like it is!

I don't mean you learn about complex numbers in trig. I mean you learn about them later, unrelatedly, and after you do about 90% of trig is completely trivial. So you should just learn them first and avoid the pain of learning trig the hard way.
