It may be more beneficial to introduce the concept by taking a bit more time, perhaps a visualisation of x, y and r on the triangle and as the position of the vertex on the unit circle, it may also be useful to show how exactly the unit circle is formed by squaring and adding the equations as a proof.

Video was good and was straight to the point. I would recommend making the video longer to explain why “circular” space is useful.

Explaining this concept in a minute is impressive.

The content is good, but the video feels unpolished. It’s mostly small details: the vectors are a little too thick and don’t quite line up with the point, there are no labels, only color-coding, you never actually introduce cos(t). But for a video this short, those details matter.

Nice quick video, I assume it would be very useful to play as part of an introductory class to sine and cosine

Very generic topic, lacks new ideas and any useful math. Not at all helpful.

Great understanding but there’s more videos which are more better
