I learned trig before I learned to program and the symbolic dexterity from trig was useful. I think kidz today will learn to program before they learn trig. I don't really have a point here.

programming and trig can be elegant. I think interviewers sometimes look for elegance. They want to believe they are hiring someone smarter than them. Elegance is one feature they look for.
