A Basic Approach to Precalculus Trigonometry: Preparing to Succeed
in Calculus provides a concise, accessible introduction to
trigonometry for high school and first-year college and university
students. The book builds up the skill sets needed to succeed in
college and university calculus courses. The material is organized
into five chapters: rational functions; trigonometric functions;
trigonometric identities and equations; applications of
trigonometric functions, and sequences and series. Within each
section all math terms are well-defined before instruction. The
instruction is then organized into manageable, easily assimilated
chunks with example problems and their solutions, followed by
practice opportunities. Once an instructional unit is completed,
all steps are listed in box format to help students organize and
remember information. A Basic Approach to Precalculus Trigonometry
breaks mathematical concepts down into steps that students can
approach with ease and practice with confidence. The book prepares
students who are new to trigonometry to succeed in more advanced
courses.
This book is a handbook on topics in Plane Trigonometry for
students in Middle / High School. We have covered the topics like -
Measurement of Angles, Basic Trigonometric Ratios, Trigonometric
Ratios across the 4 quadrants, Trigonometric functions of angles of
any size and sign, General Expressions for all Trigonometric
Ratios, Trig. Ratios of Sum and difference of two angles, Multiple
and Sub-multiple angles, Solutions of triangles, Heights and
Distances and Inverse Circular Functions. Each chapter is follows a
simple structure. A definition of terms and detailed explanation of
concepts; followed by derivation of useful formulas through first
principles. A few problems are solved in order to give a flavor of
the problem solving process. This book is intended to help the
student to understand ways to build an airtight reasoning on how
the problem solving process moves towards the final answer. This
serves as a demonstration of our understanding of the subject -
basics, formulas and methods of manipulation.
This book is for young students Gifted or Advanced in math.
This book is in fact, the last third of the book, Algebra
Examples Trigonometry. So this
book is about trigonometry, of course, and is for any student who
wants to study it
seriously. And in particular, it covers the area in depth and
extent so that it can be good
for those students, too, who want to study calculus later or now
in university level, and
want to be science or engineering majors. And some sample pages
are at:

This book is for young students Gifted or Advanced in math. This

The'eText Reference'is a printed version of the eText that provides
a place for students to do practice work and summarize key concepts
from the online videos and animations. In addition to the benefits
it provides students, the'eText Reference'is also a nice resource
for those instructors that prefer a printed text for class
preparation.

And note that you can get the book in parts, too. There are
three parts. One is Algebra
Examples Trigonometry 1, which is the first third of the whole
book, which is this book.
Another is Algebra Examples Trigonometry 2, which is the second
third of the book.
And the other is the last third, called Algebra Examples
Trigonometry 3.

logic. In addition, he made many contributions to the field of
mathematics and the chronicling of the history of mathematics. This

AUTHOR Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma
State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern
State University of Louisiana. He developed the "Improve Your Math
Fluency" series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in
basic math skills.WHAT TO EXPECT This is a workbook designed to
offer plenty of practice with essential skills. It is not a
textbook designed to "teach" trigonometry, but a workbook designed
to supplement a student's instruction in trigonometry. Examples and
a brief description of the concepts are included to serve as a
quick refresher and a guide. If you need more instruction, you
should use this workbook in combination with a textbook. The last
chapter involves applications of trig identities, which is a
challenging topic that will mostly interest more advanced students.
A few chapters are intended to help students memorize the trig
functions of common angles like 30, 150, or 315 degrees, which will
be especially useful for students who may take exams without a
calculator (that's the case with the MCAT and many math and science
courses). There may be more practice than many students need, which
is much better than having too little practice. Any extra pages may
be helpful for teachers or parents with multiple
children.DESCRIPTION This "Trigonometry Essentials Practice
Workbook with Answers" provides ample practice for developing
fluency in very fundamental trigonometry skills. Every problem can
be answered without a calculator, which is very helpful for
students who aren't allowed to use a calculator. This is the case
in some trig and physics courses, as well as some standardized
exams (like the MCAT).CONTENTS This workbook is conveniently
divided up into 11 chapters so that students can focus on one
trigonometry skill at a time. Skills include the following:
converting between degrees and radians;expressing sine, cosine,
tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent as fractions by looking at
right triangles;solving for unknown sides and angles in 45 -45 -90
and 30 -60 -90 right triangles;determining the sine, cosine,
tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent of multiples of 30 and 45
up to 360 (working with both degrees and radians);practice finding
the reference angle for angles in Quadrants II, III, and IV;finding
the inverse trig functions;applying the law of sines and the law of
cosines to solve for unknown sides and angles in acute and obtuse
triangles;solving problems with trig identities (like the angle sum
and difference formulas);and solving algebraic equations that
feature basic trig functions.EXAMPLES Each section begins with a
few pages of instructions for how to solve the problems followed by
some examples. These examples should serve as a useful guide until
students are able to solve the problems independently.ANSWERS
Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This
helps students develop confidence and ensures that students
practice correct techniques, rather than practice making
mistakes.PHOTOCOPIES The copyright notice permits parents/teachers
who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make
photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very
convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a
child/student needs additional practice.INTRODUCTION An
introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students
make the most of this workbook. Students are encouraged to time and
score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on
their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math
skills.

Trigonometry: An Informal Approach was thoroughly tested over a
decade in the classroom and designed with the student in mind. The
"Informal" description in the title refers to the style of
explanation favored by the author, a conversational manner that
attempts to engage the student and anticipates where more detailed
explanations are needed. The reading level is appropriate for both
high school and college students preparing for calculus, reflecting
the author's 30 plus years of teaching the subject in both academic
venues.
When students have only 4 to 6 weeks to review for the Regents
exams, they cannot benefit from the lengthy review books and
overwhelming information from the websites. Our students need one
review book that should be concise and efficient to help them
succeed with high scores on the test. "Different books, different
results." This book reviews all the important math topics and uses
real Regents questions and shows all the necessary steps to solve
these problems. Its clear format is like no other.
This guide is a collection of concepts that are often missed or
overlooked by students who are just beginning trigonometry. It is
not a magical cure-all, but a supplemental tool.
