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.
