Trigonometry by Cynthia A. Young

This book was required for the college level trigonometry class I completed last semester. The book does a great job introducing a student to the basics of trig. I purchased the corresponding solutions manual which helped explain the homework even though the answers to the odd numbered homework problems are listed in the back of the trig book. Trigonometry by Cynthia A. Young also includes supplementary pages pertaining to the Algebra you are expected to have already learned prior to enrolling in the class. The inside covers contain illustrations and definitions of the math formulas and trig identities you are required to learn and memorize for each chapter. There are review problems at the end of each chapter and practice tests. One thing I found exceptionally helpful in this book was the instructions in the margin on how to use the calculator to work the trig problems. It is designed for TI calculators. The book is hardcover and held up exceptionally well. (My chemistry book by a different publisher lost pages after the first couple of weeks.) I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn basic trig functions.
