In revising the third edition, the strengths of the earlier editions were retained while reflecting changes in the vocabulary and calculator emphasis in trigonometry over the past decade. However, the use of tables and the inclusion of trigonometric tables were continued to allow the text to be used with or without calculators. The text remains flexible enough to be used as a primary text for trigonometry, a supplement to a standard trigonometry text, or as a reference or review text for an individual student.
The book is complete in itself and can be used equally well by those who are studying trigonometry for the first time and those who are reviewing the fundamental principles and procedures of trigonometry.
Each chapter contains a summary of the necessary definitions and theorems followed by a solved set of problems. These solved problems include the proofs of the theorems and the derivation of formulas. The chapters end with a set of supplementary problems with their answers.
Triangle solution problems, trigonometric identities, and trigonometric equations require a knowledge of elementary algebra. The problems have been carefully selected and their solutions have been spelled out in detail and arranged to illustrate clearly the algebraic processes involved as well as the use of the basic trigonometric relations.
