    sin x = x

Half the problems in EE become trivial once you learn this. Sometimes the universe does a bad job of complying with the approximation though.

I am not sure I understand. Sin(x) approaches x only when x approaches 0. When else does the universe does a bad job with this approximation?

the joke is that sometimes the universe is bad at making sure x always approaches 0.

A joke in approximating numbers raised to irrational powers
