sine

The standard function is a Fourier series - a sum of sine waves.

You get sleepy at the peak, "starving" at the trough... like a repeating sine wave.

The new ways of trying to get into other businesses like Paul Graham said," is a chink in their armor.

Meaning you get a chopped-up sine waveform behind the dimmer.

It's super-easy to measure THD - just isolate harmonics of a sine wave a 1khz.

If epsilon is a power of 2, then we don't even need multiplication, let alone square roots, sines, and cosines!

A triangle wave sounds very close to a sine wave - a piercing pure tone - while being computationally inexpensive.

Your math teacher never taught you these because they're just labels attached to quantities expressible in terms of sine and cosine.

It's been a while sine I felt comfortable discussing the details of accounting, but sometimes the need to classify things gets in the way of the truth.

Unfortunately, this has approximately zero to do with music, unless your idea of "music" is static sine waves.

Now that you know this, you have a "tool" for your mathematical bag of tricks: every time you want to do something smooth and periodic, you are probably going to reach for sine or cosine.

I'd like to add tone generation so you could hear the various harmonics being added and removed as you worked up through the numbers, occasionally hitting a pure sine wave as you hit a prime number.
