Trigonometry

by Cynthia Y. Young

The third edition of Cynthia Young's Trigonometry brings together all the elements that have allowed instructors and learners to successfully "bridge the gap" between classroom instruction and independent homework by overcoming common learning barriers and building confidence in students' ability to do mathematics. Written in a clear voice that speaks to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lecture, Young's hallmark pedagogy enables students to become independent, successful learners. Varied exercise types and modeling projects keep the learning fresh and motivating. Young continues her tradition of fostering a love for succeeding in mathematics by introducing inquiry-based learning projects in this edition, providing learners an opportunity to master the material with more freedom while reinforcing mathematical skills and intuition. The seamless integration of Cynthia Young's Trigonometry 3rd edition with WileyPLUS, a research-based, online environment for effective teaching and learning, continues Young's vision of building student confidence in mathematics because it takes the guesswork out of studying by providing them with a clear what to do, how to do it, and whether they did it right. WileyPLUS sold separately from text.

[Andrew Obrigewitsch · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was fairly good until it hit chapters 5 and 6. They seemed to have forgotten the instruction materials in those chapters, and only included the equations that where never explained in anyway. Thank god for the internet.

Chapters 7 and 8 are good again, so one can only assume that the author got sick while writing those two chapters.
