Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A woman with curly hair and glasses is angrily pointing at an older man, who has a serious expression. She shouts, "Professor! You son of a bitch!"

Panel 2: The woman continues her rant, saying, "Cosine is just sine shifted over?! And tangent is just sine divided by sine shifted over?!"

Panel 3: The woman emphasizes her frustration, exclaiming, "I spent months! Goddamned months getting fluent with the behavior of these things as if they were animals in a zoo of trig functions. They’re all just sine, you bastard! Just variations on sine!"

Panel 4: The scene shifts to another character, likely the professor, who listens stoically. The woman continues, "Look, they'll all be really useful if you're ever lost at sea and need to calculate latitude and have no calculator but happen to be in possession of a book of trigonometric tables."

Panel 5: The professor adjusts his glasses with a neutral expression as the woman remarks, "That should be on page one of the textbook."

Panel 6: The final panel shows the woman with a sarcastic expression as she asks, "Would you take that course?" The professor appears contemplative in response.

Each panel conveys a mix of humor and frustration regarding trigonometric functions, highlighted by the characters' expressive faces and body language.
