How is sin-1 used in the real world? Im having a hard time grasping the concept of how to use it, I understand that its for only a potion of of the sine wave (1 to -1) and it somehow "undoes" sin simular to how x2 can undo a squair root, but why would I want to undo sin? I have a hard time grasping abstract math in a math class but no problem grasping math in a phisics class because my brain has a "place" to put the concept and what to realate it to. For example a2+b2=c2 is meaningless and abstract untill its applied to a triangle then it has meaning and can be remembered. Thank you for your time.
