This revision of a best-selling plane trigonometry text for freshmen and sophomores maintains the trademarks of clear, concise exposition coupled with graded problems. The result is a fresh and modern version of a classic text. Major changes include an emphasis on the use of calculators and calculator-related exercises, the use of radian measures appearing after Chapter 5 to help prepare students for analytic geometry or calculus, the expansion of Chapter 9 to include more applications as well as the addition of polar, exponential functions, and a greater emphasis on graphing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Learn traditional trig methods,
By cineadbrewco (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plane Trigonometry (Hardcover)
This book was my trig book in College. The instructor, Bill Litzmann, was famous for shunning the use of calculators and required that we work every problem with "a #2 pencil and a legal pad," just like he did. This seemed unfair at the time, but in the long run it's a good idea. That said, this book actually teaches BOTH ways of thinking about trig. It teaches a solid foundation in understanding and working trig problems without a calculator and it also has sections on how to use a calculator to solve problems. It even includes memes for memorizing things like the Sin and Cos of angles by radians. In short, I recommend learning to do trig without a calculator and using this book to do so. Especially if you plan to into multivariable calculus or upper level physics where trig is used constantly, especially in coordinate transformations and rotations.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Where's 4 for plane trig?,
This review is from: Plane Trigonometry (Hardcover)
The only flaw in my copy is every fourth answer is missing (1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11,13, ect.) on every section. A very large editorial miss.
