A great book for teaching yourself every concepts clearly.

I wasn't sure about it before buying because it was costly and exceeding my budget. But after buying I can tell you it's totally worth it. The book is very easy to understand and now I can bridge the gap which was made because I didn't study in earlier standards. My conceptions are totally clear now.

This is a short, concise guide that establishes rules and provides proofs in Trigonometry. Tim Hill is no-nonsense, getting straight to the point with all of the ideas it covers. I found it useful as a refresher, but it also works if you are new to it.
