3.0 out of 5 stars somewhat overpriced, June 15, 2008
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Trigonometry (Hardcover)
Trigonometry hasn't changed in centuries. I compare this book with those I had as a student in high school. It does have far more colourful material. The visuals here are spectacular if set against the plain black and white of my texts. But those were from the 70s. The book also has many worked out examples and scads of exercises.

However, if you need many exercises to work through, this old fashioned offering from Schaum's has those, at a far cheaper price, Schaum's Outline of Trigonometry.

The apparently innovative stuff of the new book is its Eduspace website. Where the reader can go to get more material. The publisher and authors seem to have put a lot of effort here. Maybe this gets you value for $130. Or maybe not.
