These beasts can work with scientific notation, logarithmic and trigonometric calculations, exponential functions, roots and powers, and other long complicated mathematical terms that many people have never even heard of.

科学计算器可以使用科学记数法、对数和函数计算、指数函数、根和幂，以及许多人从未听说过的其他冗长复杂的数学术语。

Polynomials could also be used to approximate logarithmic and trigonometric functions, which are a real hassle to calculate by hand.

多项式也可以用于近似对数和函数些函数手算相当麻烦。

Right. You're gonna teach me trig? You can't even balance your checkbook.

没错。你要教我函数吗？你连自己的支票簿都搞不明白。

But it's also one of those things that you memorize when you take trigonometry.

但在学函数的过程中些值是应该会背起来的 总之，我在里没有用到甚麽魔法。

When I saw Jessica in Trig, she was bubbling with enthusiasm.

当我在函数课上看见杰西卡时，她正热切地说个不停。

We went to see our normal maths teacher to ask him about trig because we didn't understand any of it and he said his class was taking, a whole week and another lesson to learn it.

我们去找我们平时的数学老师，问他函数的问题，因为我们一点也不懂他说他们班用了一周时间外加一节课来学部分。

And more complex operations, like a trigonometric function, could take over a minute.

而更复杂的像函数之类的操作，可能要超过一分钟。

And if brains salt code just as math, we could teach it like we teach algebra or trigonometry.

如果大脑把编码当作数学，我们就可以像教代数函数一样教它。

So, you know when you're revising for maths, maybe don't think" okay, today I'm gonna revise trigonometry."

所以，当你复习数学时，可能不要想着‘好，今天我要复习函数’。

Today we did, um... trigonometry, which we have never covered before and we did it in, like, 15 minutes.

今天我们学了。以前从未学过的函数，他花了十五分钟就讲完了。

" Laundry, and then I have to study for the Trig test or I'm going to fail."

“洗衣服，然后我得为函数的测试复习，否则我就要挂掉了。”

My homework was done - the product of a slow social life - but there were a few Trig problems I wasn't sure I had right.

我的作业已经做完了——慢节奏社交生活的产物——但还有几道函数题我不能肯定自己做对了。

" I guess I'll see you in Trig." She gave me a meaningful look, and I suppressed a sigh.

“我猜，我们函数课上见。”她意味深长地看了我一眼，我抑制住了一声叹息。

When I walked into Trig Jessica was sitting in the back row, nearly bouncing off her seat in agitation.

当我走进函数教室的时候，杰西卡正坐在最后一排，兴奋得几乎要从座位上跳起来了。

And I wrote this elaborate trigonometry equation.

我写下了个复杂的函数方程。

[Cory] Basically, the app is doing trigonometry.

- [Cory] ​​基本上， 该应用程序正在执行函数。

So, Timmy, if you want to live, you need to learn trigonometry.

所以，蒂米，如果你想活下去，你就需要学习函数。

And the story was about a California math teacher, STEM, science, technology, education, and math, who was using a dance and a little song, I guess I can call it a song, but a little chant to try to teach some really complicated trigonometry.

故事讲述的是加州一位数学教师，专注于科学、技术、教育与数学（STEM）领域，她采用了一种舞蹈和一小段歌曲——姑且称之为歌曲吧——通过种小吟唱的方式，试图教授一些极为复杂的函数知识。

And it's probably not too hard to guess that trigonometry  will be somehow relevant, so anyone comfortable with their trig functions could probably  hazard a guess as to what the right formula is.

而且很可能不难猜到函数会以某种方式相关，所以任何对函数熟悉的人都可能猜出正确的公式是什么。

One taught me art in elementary school, and the other one taught  me trigonometry in high school, and their names actually were Art Smith and Math Smith.

一个在我小学时教我艺术，另一个在我高中时教我函数，他们的名字实际上是阿特·史密斯和马·史密斯。
