Comment: Trigonometry For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))
This book is really good as a supplemental book for high school student. Since our school want to be an international school, I think this book and any other Dummies books will be relevant to be used for teaching and learning in International developmental based school.

Summary: Great reference book
Comment: Recently took college-level calculus and forgot most of what I had learned in high school. Bought this along with "Calculus for Dummies" and used both to help me survive the course.
This book is definitely not comprehensive, but I still have to give it five stars for its great plain-english descriptions of some difficult concepts. I wouldn't buy this book as my only source to learn trigonometry, but as an accompaniment to a good class or as an assistant to help with homework, it does a great job.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not very thorough
Comment: This book is anything but a comprehensive guide. The author fails to go into verbose detail on almost every problem, leaving you guessing how she came to that conclusion. That would be fine if this was an advanced trig book, but it's the DUMMIES guide and as such I'd expect to be taken through every step of every problem. There's plenty of room for this; there are huge margins which could have been used to fill in more detail.
It also completely fails to explain trig identities in a sensible way, which if you're a student struggling with challenging trig identity problems, this book won't be of any help.

Summary: Excellent book
Comment: This book is well written. It is thorough in its presentation of trigonometry.It also reviews the geometry necessary to understand the trig.There is an emphasis on practical applications using trigonometry.
The explanations concerning how various equations are derived is especially helpful. These enable you to understand instead of memorize.
The Trigonometry workbook is an excellent companion book.

Summary: Best book for any Trigonometry student who is struggling
Comment: I bought this book and two others at the beginning of my college Trig class. This book is the only one that I used. It was the best investment for the class that I could have made. Trigonometry for Dummies provided all the fundamental concepts that were covered in college Trig and explained them so that even a non-math major like myself could understand. I would highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with college Trigonmetry, or if you are looking for a great book to refresh your skills.
