Except if you run exp, log, sqrt, sin, cos etc. Then you immediately leave the rationals.

- CydeWeys 6y agoYes, it definitely depends on what you're doing with the numbers, but personally I don't recall ever having needed trigonometric functions in my decade plus working life doing standard line of business type stuff.

- CydeWeys 6y agoI said "it definitely depends on what you're doing with the numbers". That's not a dismissal; I'm simply pointing out that neither I nor many if not most other software engineers use trig on a frequent basis. I'm well aware that it's used in actual engineering, but that's just not what most of us here do.
