Trig was interesting, but it's so complex, just try to remember it. That's why the invented calculators. Maybe the new approach hit some ways of looking things more simply.

New math, on the other hand... Let's put it this way. I was an A student in Old Math. In New Math, I was a D student stuck in remedial programs. When allowed to go back to Old Math, I was an A student again.

I found myself looking at a trig program last year, and thinking "I remember doing this in college. Why don't I remember anything, now?" And I was reasonably good at back then. Says something, I think.
