Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A plain-English guide to the basics of trig Trigonometry deals with the relationship between the sides and angles of triangles... mostly right triangles. In practical use, trigonometry is a friend to astronomers who use triangulation to measure the distance between stars. Trig also has applications in fields as broad as financial analysis, music theory, biology, medical imaging, cryptology, game development, and seismology. From sines and cosines to logarithms, conic sections, and polynomials, this friendly guide takes the torture out of trigonometry, explaining basic concepts in plain English and offering lots of easy-to-grasp example problems. It also explains the "why" of trigonometry, using real-world examples that illustrate the value of trigonometry in a variety of careers. Tracks to a typical Trigonometry course at the high school or college level Packed with example trig problems From the author of Trigonometry Workbook For Dummies Trigonometry For Dummies is for any student who needs an introduction to, or better understanding of, high-school to college-level trigonometry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia. The discipline was a mainstay of mathematics education for centuries, and it was a standard subject in high schools until the 1950s. Today, however, it is rarely taught. Heavenly Mathematics traces the rich history of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth."--Jacket.

Download or read book Trigonometry written by Ted Sundstrom and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This college level trigonometry text may be different than most other trigonometry textbooks. In this book, the reader is expected to do more than read the book but is expected to study the material in the book by working out examples rather than just reading about them. So the book is not just about mathematical content (although it does contain important topics in trigonometry needed for further study in mathematics), but it is also about the process of learning and doing mathematics and is designed not to be just casually read but rather to be engaged. Recognizing that actively studying a mathematics book is often not easy, several features of the textbook have been designed to help students become more engaged as they study the material. Some of the features are: Beginning activities in each section that engage students with the material to be introduced, focus questions that help students stay focused on what is important in the section, progress checks that are short exercises or activities that replace the standard examples in most textbooks, a section summary, and appendices with answers for the progress checks and selected exercises.
Download or read book Trigonometry written by I.M. Gelfand and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sense, trigonometry sits at the center of high school mathematics. It originates in the study of geometry when we investigate the ratios of sides in similar right triangles, or when we look at the relationship between a chord of a circle and its arc. It leads to a much deeper study of periodic functions, and of the so-called transcendental functions, which cannot be described using finite algebraic processes. It also has many applications to physics, astronomy, and other branches of science. It is a very old subject. Many of the geometric results that we now state in trigonometric terms were given a purely geometric exposition by Euclid. Ptolemy, an early astronomer, began to go beyond Euclid, using the geometry of the time to construct what we now call tables of values of trigonometric functions. Trigonometry is an important introduction to calculus, where one stud ies what mathematicians call analytic properties of functions. One of the goals of this book is to prepare you for a course in calculus by directing your attention away from particular values of a function to a study of the function as an object in itself. This way of thinking is useful not just in calculus, but in many mathematical situations. So trigonometry is a part of pre-calculus, and is related to other pre-calculus topics, such as exponential and logarithmic functions, and complex numbers.

Download or read book Trigonometry written by Cynthia Y. Young and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often, trigonometry students leave class believing that they understand a concept but are unable to apply that understanding when they get home and attempt their homework problems. This mainstream yet innovative text is written by an experienced professor who has identified this gap as one of the biggest challenges that trigonometry professors face. She uses a clear voice that speaks directly to students- similar to how instructors communicate to them in class. Students learning from this text will overcome common barriers to learning trigonometry and will build confidence in their ability to do mathematics.
Download or read book Trigonometry the Easy Way written by Douglas Downing and published by Barrons Educational Series. This book was released on 2001-02-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here’s a complete, easy-to-grasp course in trigonometry that takes the form of a fantasy novel. The King of Carmorra and his subjects have many practical problems to solve, and their answers can be found by applying principles of trigonometry. Readers follow along and learn to solve many different problems that can be reduced to triangular diagrams. They learn the laws of sine and cosine, trigonometric functions and inverse functions, waves, conic sections, polynomial approximation, and much more. The book is filled with instructive exercises and their solutions, plus illustrative drawings, graphs, and diagrams. This new edition contains updated coverage on using graphing calculators and computer spreadsheets for solving trigonometric problems.

Download or read book Exact Values in Trigonometry written by Bhava Nath Dahal and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since last 2500 years, respectful mathematicians worked for trigonometric values differently. The determined 6-major and further 10 less-common trigonometric ratios. Many modern mathematicians worked for EXACT values too. In this book, there are five methods for determination of trigonometric ratios. One, named as Vatsa-method is ratio-based. It discovered new sum of natural number theory of 'vatsa'. Remaining four methods are based on chord (a) and supplementary chords (b) or their product (ab). We can find EXACT trigonometric values for all integer angles and polygons; for the remaining concept of 'appropriate accuracy' adopted herewith. For example, square root of 3 is irrational. Therefore, so-called exact value of Sine based on square root 3 is not exact, rather with 'appropriate accuracy' for the user. Same concept has used for 'appropriate accuracy'. In this book, trigonometric ratios are determined under: 1. Arc-Line method (1/2 to 1 hour to study or teaching) 2. Series method (1 hour to study or teaching) 3. Angle-Rewritten method (1 hour to study or teaching) 4. Precise-Rewritten method (1/2 to 1 hour to study or teaching) 5. Vatsa method (1 hour to study or teaching) This book developed new method for trigonometric values with basis of 'square root of 2' only.
