Synopsis: This volume offers a concise, highly focused review of what high school and beginning college undergraduates need to know to successfully solve the trigonometry problems they will encounter on exams. Rigorously tested examples and coherent, to-the-point explanations are presented in an accessible form and will provide valuable assistance in conquering this challenging subject.Rather than serving as a text or treatise, the book focuses on the essentials of trigonometry. All fourteen sections are organized in a manner that allows readers to advance sequentially or to skip around. The approach encourages memorization of ratios and formulas, and the practice problems offer ample opportunities to become comfortable with applying the trig ratios to a variety of settings.
