In fact, sine and cosine never really made sense to me, until one day, I saw an animation similar to this one: https://youtu.be/Q55T6LeTvsA?si=7fiBxFVMu67tb3NZ (without the overly dramatic soundtrack).

Before that it was just some weird function I needed to calculate angles in triangles…

Yes this article really should have animations to get its point across. Seems like such a natural fit while going through the effort of writing it and much less engaging as a result.
