mominbc Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I was wondering if anyone knew of a book that helps with basic trigonometry? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Our Lial's textbook was not explaining the theory enough for my son and we ended up using Schaum's as a reference. Also, Wikipedia has online texts and links to public-domain resources that we found very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jann in TX Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Schaum's is an excellent resource for higher maths--especially Calculus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm currently working through Life of Fred: Trigonometry, and I have to say that I've never had so much fun with the subject. I'm not sure how basic is basic, but the price is still reasonable even if only half the book is used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in MD Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Also try the math forum at Drexel.edu. That is where the Ask Dr. Math stuff is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Shaums a book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 They are structured as reviews-they briefly review a topic, without detail, and have several problems to work from simple to complex. We use them to get more practice with challenging topics, and to review to stay fresh on all topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
