Who else wants to be able to understand trigonometry? This is an area of mathematics that can be confusing to students yet with a guiding hand it is easy to understand. Students who use this book will find it virtually impossible not to understand. The book utilises the Studymates approach of an overview per chapter and then material is broken down into bitesize chunks in the same way the BBC do it with their series for GCSE students. This is what makes this book special and an important addition to the ever growing and popular Studymates series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Friendly and Helpful Little Book
By P. Simmondson
Format: Paperback
The great strength of this book is that it conducts the user in a friendly, clear and accessible way through the whole continuum of trigonometry, from first pre-GCSE principles to full use in A2. So it can be used by those coming with a hazy notion of trig as something to do with rather suspect ladders leaning dodgily against walls of indeterminate height, through to those grappling with the use of identities and harmonic form! Everything necessary for GCSE and A level is covered.

As well as the essential clarity of the book, I particularly liked the suggestions for some simple practical activities (e.g., manipulating the angles and dimensions of your room, or finding sine wave patterns in sunset times). The support for more demanding areas of A level is strong and reasoned. The diagrams at first seemed to me rather simple, but then I realised that “uncluttered” was the word I was looking for – no bad thing.

This is a little book which I think should enable student, parent, or adult learner to take control and gain a clearer understanding of trigonometry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear guide to trig
By Maths teacher on
Format: Paperback
This book is a clear, step-by-step guide to trigonometry, starting right at the beginning and working up to A2 content. Each principle is introduced with a full explanation allowing the reader to understand where the trig rules and formulae come from, and why they work. Practical examples and practise questions pepper the book throughout, enabling the student to get to the grips with each new piece of content before progressing to complex problems. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants a strong grasp of trigonometry.
5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
By J Hillon
Format: Paperback
The book starts with the basic concepts of trigonometry and gradually works up to more advanced concepts, and thanks to it, my knowledge of trigonometry has increased. There are many worked examples and practical questions, and I’ve found the questions interesting and achievable. The author’s use of English is clear and straightforward, which is important for solving maths problems. I give this book five stars.

The author has many years of experience in teaching mathematics, both in class and on line.

This book includes explanations on: *Circular measurement *Fractions of angles *Ratio and similar triangles *Understanding trigonometric ratios *Radians and how to solve problems *How to apply the theory *Angles outside the range 0 to 90 degrees *Solving problems without right angled triangles *Cosine rule *Bearings and trigonometric graphs
