Review

"I like the "Algebra Connection" boxes. . . . Reminding students that factoring a trig equation is similar to factoring a polynomial . . . helps relieve students' anxiety [and motivates] them that they have practiced this process successfully before."

"The greatest strengths [of Larson TRIGONOMETRY] are the numerous exercises along with the problem sets, clear explanations and [his] clean layout and presentation."
