The left hand tricks method is a simple but ingenious way to visualize and understand how to find the trig values of major and minor trig functions using solely one's left hand. Label your left hand as such.
Using your left hand, you will ultimately be able to evaluate the five special reference angles corresponding major and minor trig functions.
