Maple for Trigonometry presents the standard concepts of post-secondary trigonometry are presented from the perspective of a PC-based, interactive computer algebra system. Illustrated by pen and pencil exercises, the step-by-step instructions apply Maple to standard problems. The advantage of using computer algebra is shown by solving problems graphically and numerically prior to showing the exact analytic solution. Problem paradigms are given in Maple laboratory exercises.

Well-written, but with deficiencies that significantly reduce it value for either self-study or as a course supplement.,

This review is from: Maple for Trigonometry (Trade/Tech Mathematics S.) (Paperback)
This is a potentially quite useful book that with minimal additional material would be outstanding. However, in this edition, its value is significantly diminished by its minimum set of solved examples, and its failure to include exercise solutions.In each Chapter the author presents a brief discussion of various mathematical concepts followed by short presentations on how to use Maple to solve related problems. These discussions and presentations are quickly followed by "Your Turn" and other groups of exercises. Solutions are not provided, so readers are unable to confirm they have understood the concepts, or know how to obtain correct answers using Maple. This might be appropriate in a classroom or computer laboratory environment where the instructor provides solutions to the exercises, however, not as a choice for self-study. Each Chapter begins with a list of well-structured learning objectives, and the discussions preceding the exercises are short and well-written Thus, this book could serve as the basis for a set of lecture notes, updated to the latest version of Maple, with accompanying student laboratory exercises. However, owing to the lack of a larger selection of solved in-text examples or exercise solutions, I would not recommended this book either as a course supplement or for self-study.
