College Trigonometry

Catalog description

This is a course for students majoring in mathematics, science or engineering. Students explore trigonometric functions and their inverses through graphing sinusoidal functions using five key points. Students find exact values of trigonometric functions using a point on the unit circle, a point on a circle of radius r and by manipulating trigonometric formulas. Students establish identities and then utilize said identities to solve trigonometric equations. Additionally, students solve triangles using right triangle trigonometry, law of sines, law of cosines and several formulas for calculating area.
