Synopsis:

Learning trigonometry concepts can be a difficult and frustrating process. The tenth edition of this successful book helps readers gain a strong understanding of these concepts by discovering how trigonometry is relevant in their lives through rich applications. It follows a right triangle–first approach and is graphing optional. Readers will find new and updated applications as well as additional exercises and solutions. Greater emphasis is also placed on relevant applications more than other books in the field. All of this will help readers comprehend and retain the material.
