Not that hard, so long as you don't write them like sin^-1 x (could be confused with (sin x)^-1, aka 1/(sinx)).
Now if you REALLY want to go get screwed up, go start doing some really nasty trig integrals. That's no fun at all.
EDIT: Don't listen to anything I say about math. I took geometry in 6th grade, so I'm not very patient with nubs.

Uggghhhh. . .
I'd explain it, but I'd need to draw diagrams and stuff. It's really not hard at all (quadratic equations/formula are/is ridiculously easy (at least at that level), I programmed a nifty device for my calculator that does all sorts of stuff with a quadratic polynomial).
Just. . . go get a book, or something. Maybe one of the more patient, tutor-ly types would help you out.
I have not used any of the advanced math I "learned" in high school. But I do remember the sentence to help me remeber that sin/cosin stuff: "Sparry Offers His Cheese As His Token Of Appreciation" Some crazy guy in my class came up with that one using another students name, it was pretty funny.
Besides, this is what the TI83s are for. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Integrals, limits, derivatives, models of functions...
I still dont know how I passed 4 calculus classes <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I did find some neat questions though, ones that have no answers: (n=any real number)
If infinty *n=infinty, and 0*n =0, then what is infinty *0?
I also learned that 1/infinty goes to zero...
and I will never use these things again in my life...

I took 4 calculus courses in college, and hated almost every minute of it.

Even to this day, I still wouldn't be able to do any form of integration or differentiation, but apparently it's supposed to be useful in certain aspects of my field of study (electronics engineering), mainly electronics component design, physics, chemistry, and so on.
I was an electrical engineer, before that I was a computer engineer major, now Im in Geographical and Information sciences, less strenous then engineering, pays about the same, huge demand in the job market for it, and it takes the same courses that I have already took, so not really much of a change, and it doesnt require the rediculus 3.2 GPA that CSE took.

Basicly, "You can never get to this point, but if you could, this would be it's y-value."

Or: "Here is a way to find the area of the area under any graph in roughly... 10 seconds"
Heh, we just learned that stuff a few months ago in my class. I assume that you'll be learning about sinA / a = sinB / b. And that the area of a triangle where you know an angle and two adjacent legs = 1/2 * a * b * sinC.
We recently learned a proof for the area of a circle. You know, pi * radius^2. It's really pretty interesting. It involves slicing up a circle into infinitely thin wedges and putting them together to form an almost-parallelogram.
That basic trig is easy, trust me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Enjoy it while you can.

I binned pure maths, and took stats, many moons ago. Stats was great. You could say what the answer MIGHT be, and frankly, you weren't even sure about that. Now THATs science.

Actually, both high school and college suck. After those, you'll work so you can buy food so can live so you can work so you can live so you...
This is why the windows in the higher floors of the dorms around here have restraining arms (aka "suicide bars") on them. And why some major universities (MIT comes to mind) close the rooftops of the buildings come exam time...

yes i hate quatdtraticx and trig + those crazy graphs.
