Not only does Coburn present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to recognize a problem organize a procedure and formulate a solution the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind mathematical concepts. Written in a readable yet mathematically mature manner appropriate for college level students Coburns Trigonometry uses narrative extensive examples and a range of exercises to connect seemingly disparate mathematical topics into a cohesive whole. Coburns hallmark applications are born out of the authors extensive experiences in and outside the classroom and appeal to the vast diversity of students and teaching methods in this course area. Benefiting from the feedback of hundreds of instructors and students across the country Trigonometry Second Edition continues to emphasize connections in order to improve the level of student engagement in mathematics and increase their chances of success in trigonometry.
