Trigonometry: A Right Triangle Approach (5th Edition)

Trigonometry: A Right Triangle Approach (5th Edition) Review

The college where I teach recently dropped a two-course sequence in precalculus in favor of a one-semester course. This of course requires the re-examination of the text to be used for precalculus and it is within that context that I examined this book.
I found it an excellent choice for a textbook for a one-semester class in precalculus. It begins with a quick review of graphs and functions, but then immediately goes to trigonometric functions. The subsequent chapters are:

*) Analytic trigonometry
*) Applications of trigonometric functions
*) Polar coordinates; vectors
*) Analytic geometry
*) Exponential and logarithmic functions

The coverage of these topics is thorough and plenty of exercises with solutions are included. I was also impressed by the use of coloration to catch and direct your attention through the explanations. This is a technique that is sometimes neglected in the development of mathematics texts. I will be recommending this book to the department chair for the text of choice for precalculus.

These authors understand what it takes to be successful in mathematics, the skills that students bring to this course, and the way that technology can be used to enhance learning without sacrificing math skills. As a result, they have created a textbook with an overall learning system involving preparation, practice, and review to help students get the most out of the time they put into studying. In sum, Sullivan and Sullivan's Trigonometry: Enhanced with Graphing Utilities gives students a model for success in mathematics.
