Trigonometry (with CD-ROM, BCA/iLrn™

This book provides readers with a solid understanding of the definitions and principles of trigonometry and their application to problem solving. Identities are introduced early in Chapter 1. They are reviewed often and are then covered in more detail in Chapter 5. Also, exact values of the trigonometric functions are emphasized throughout the book. There are numerous calculator notes placed throughout the book.
