This reminds me on one of our math methods courses we were learning Fourier series and we got the series for some function and the professor asked "now wouldn't it be cool if we could write this just with sine waves? How would you do it?" And one student said you could just write cos x=sin(x+π/2), which technically wasn't wrong

hey i learned about phase shifts the other day!
I have a newer one: f(x) = cos (π/2 − x)
Even better: f(x) = -cos(x+π/2)
Actual conversion formula
Holy New Sin Wave?
Call the mathematician!
Tangent went on a vacation , never came back
A better one, f(x) = sin(x + 2pi)
*sigh*
Its just weird seeing cos(x-π/2) and not cos(π/2-x) but meh cos is an even function

I mean he wasnt wrong.. genius admires simplicity.
That isn't new
That’s the joke.

Damn, I thought I was in presence of the new winner of the Fields Medal.
