How are whales different from fish?

Posted on July 12, 2022July 14, 2022 by Schuyler

On the surface, whales and fish share many things: use of aquatic environments, they are vertebrates and have morphological adaptions that facilitate locomotion in water. The latter is described in detail here: The repeated invasion of aquatic and marine environments by tetrapods over the last 250 million years has resulted in a host of convergent morphological adaptations that facilitate life in water (Kelley and Pyenson, 2015). Among these adaptations are the evolution of a fusiform body ...

Graphing trigonometric functions

Posted on May 29, 2016May 29, 2016 by Schuyler

Trigonometric functions begin with a review of the unit circle and trig ratios. Y=sin(x) begins at the origin, peaks y=1, crosses the x-axis at pi, bottoms out at y=-1 and ends its first period at 2pi,0. Y=cos(x) starts at y=1, descends to cross the x-axis at pi/2, bottoms out at y=-1, crosses the x-axis at 3pi/2, and finishes its period at 2pi. Now, for all functions F(t)=A(Bt-C) + D where f(t) is a trig function, we know that: A: amplitude, B:period=2pi/|B|, C: phase shift is C/B...
