Trigonometry Paperback - 2001 - 2001st Edition

by I. M. Gelfand; Mark Saul

Replete with illustrations and examples, this book covers all the basic topics of trigonometry and stimulates readers to think of mathematics as a unified subject. Definitions of trigonometric functions are geometrically motivated, and various geometric relationships are rewritten in trigonometric form and extended. The text is written by two experienced pre-college teachers, one of whom, I.M. Gelfand, is considered the most distinguished living mathematician. 6/99.


From the publisher

"The idea behind teaching is to expect students to learn why things are true, rather than have them memorize ways of solving a few problems, as most of our books have done. [This] same philosophy lies behind the current text by Gel'fand and Shen. There are specific 'practical' problems but there is much more development of the ideas....[The authors] have shown how to write a serious yet lively book on algebra."

--- R. Askey, The American Mathematics Monthly (review of Algebra)

Description:
US: Birkhäuser, 2001. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. In a sense, trigonometry sits at the center of high school mathematics. It originates in the study of geometry when we investigate the ratios of sides in similar right triangles, or when we look at the relationship between a chord of a circle and its arc. It leads to a much deeper study of periodic functions, and of the so-called transcendental functions, which cannot be described using finite algebraic processes. It also has many applications to physics, astronomy, and other branches of science. It is a very old subject. Many of the geometric results that we now state in trigonometric terms were given a purely geometric exposition by Euclid. Ptolemy, an early astronomer, began to go beyond Euclid, using the geometry of the time to construct what we now call tables of values of trigonometric functions.… Read More
