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.

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.
1836. Augustus De Morgan was an important innovator in the field of logic. In addition, he made many contributions to the field of mathematics and the chronicling of the history of mathematics. This is his treatise on Trigonometry and meant to be used as a student text. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
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.

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.
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.
