Review
"One of the best precalculus texts on the market . . . This is a wonderful text. Its strength is in the problems. I love the number and level of applications. The authors have also succeeded in designing a text for the use or non-use of the graphing calculator."

Fundamentals of Trigonometry Thought,

This review is from: Fundamentals of Trigonometry (Hardcover)
For the most part this is a good book. It covers the subject of fundamental trigonometry well. The downside to this book is that the author at times seems to be a little scatter brained. At times it is a little difficult to understand why he does what he does; in the end though he accomplishes his task of teaching. This book is diffenently a higher level reading and should be used by college students.

I've read better math books.........,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Trigonometry (The Prindle, Weber & Schmidt Series in Mathematics) (Hardcover)
I read this book in a college mathematics course called college trigonometry. In its explanations of some of the mathematical concepts, the book is way too specific in Chapter 1. The other chapters were way too vauge, and give very little real-world applications in the understanding of the mathematical concepts. This is just the way I saw it. The writer also uses the letters "u" and "v" as variables. This is not good, because of the confusion of the letters "u" and "v" looking the same or very similar when the student writes them down. Also greek letters used for angles, is more confusing than necessary. The excersises at the end of the sections were ok, however, they were repetitive. By this I mean the writer has the same problems over and over again, but increasing slightly in difficulty. There needs to be more real world applications in this book to explain mathematical ideas. Also there are only answers provided in the back of the book and in the student guide to the odd numbered problems. I think a student could do much better in this course if the answers were provided to all the questions, and they were more thouroughly explained in the solutions manual. It would be a good idea to revise this (The students Solutions Manual) The author solves the problems in a hurry, and does not take the time to go through them step by step, which is very important in learning mathematics. Overall I thought the book was written using concepts that were really hard to understand the way they were explained. The only thing that I found helpful about the book was the practice problems, and with some of the issues that I mentioned about varibles, and angle variables, even the practice problems were difficult.
