trigonometry

Provides an in-depth look at the development of Copernicuss theory, the effect it had on the lives of scientists willing to defend it at great personal cost, and heliocentrisms role in the latest astronomical research.

This book takes a look at how athletes, coaches, and fans use different types of math to create a holistic plan for play and engagement.

This stimulating volume offers a broad collection of the principles of geometry and trigonometry, and contains colorful diagrams to bring mathematical principles to life. Subjects are enriched by references to famous mathematicians and their ideas, and the stories are presented in a very comprehensible way. Readers investigate the relationships of points, lines, surfaces, and solids. They study a wealth of facts about figures and, above all, methods to prove the facts. They learn about triangle measure for circular motion, sine, and trigonometric functions that are applied to right triangles.

This insightful guide to the history and basic concepts of mathematics reveals how math concepts helped to shape society--from the basic counting and units of measurement that facilitated commerce to the kind of surveying techniques and geometry that helped build the Egyptian pyramids. A chronological account of advancements in mathematics ranges Aristotle and al-Khwarizmi (who first used the term "algebra") to high-speed computers and their impact upon the teaching and understanding of mathematics. Readers will also find out how much of ancient arithmetic--like the 60 minute hour--is still part of our everyday life.

If you want top grades and thorough understanding of precalculus, this powerful study tool is the best tutor you can have! It takes you step-by-step through the subject and gives you more than 600 accompanying related problems with fully worked solutions. You also get plenty of practice problems to do on your own, working at your own speed. (Answers provided to show you how you're doing.).
