Trigonometry: A Brief Conversation, Carolyn D. King, Evelyn Tam, Fei Ye, Beata Ewa Carvajal Jan 2018

Trigonometry: A Brief Conversation, Carolyn D. King, Evelyn Tam, Fei Ye, Beata Ewa Carvajal

Open Educational Resources

These five units were specifically tailored to foster the mastery of a few selected trigonometry topics that comprise the one credit MA-121 Elementary Trigonometry course. Each unit introduces the topic, provides space for practice, but more importantly, provides opportunities for students to reflect on the work in order to deepen their conceptual understanding.

These units have also been assigned to students of other courses such as pre-calculus and calculus as a review of trigonometric basics essential to those courses.

We are grateful for the support we received from the Open Educational Research (OER) initiative of the City University of New …
