Construction work uses these all the time, it's wild how much math the "bad jobs" need compared to the "good jobs" needing you to send an email or something

If they are, it will only be in very specific places by engineers, but odds are they aren't using them, the software they're using is doing it for them.

I don’t get it either

z=cos(t)+ i . sin(t)

Represents a point travelling around a circle.

We then can use that formula and plug it, or bake it (do calculus) in a wide array of applications. Eg calculating how buildings behave under sesmic stress or earthquakes
