i wanna know from a material engineer scholar or graduate if they
used trigonometry,geometry or algebra in there classes or at work
cause i find trigonometry real difficult.

Here is the definition form Wikpedia.
Materials science or materials engineering is an interdisciplinary field involving the properties of matter and its applications to various areas of science and engineering. This science investigates the relationship between the structure of materials and their properties. It includes elements of applied physics and chemistry, as well as chemical, mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. With significant media attention to nanoscience and nanotechnology in the recent years, materials science has been propelled to the forefront at many universities.
I would however suggest that you work on your spelling and grammar if you have any intention of entering this field.

Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, and Structural Engineering subjects are necessary besides material Engineering subjects. You will need a basic knowledge of trigonometry. You should at least know where to look for the answer in a trig text book should the need arise.

Well parts of it will be more important than others. like say components of stress and strain or something. But I won't say no, but if you understand the basics, you should be fine
I doubt you'll ever have to like simplify a long complicated trig expression.
