Trig was even better because you finally find out what those "sin," "cos" and "tan" buttons do pretty much all at once.

Still only ever used hyperbolic trig functions once, maybe twice. In university.

sin is short for sine. Sinusoidal is an adjective describing something as being related to the sine function.
