Engineers trying to learn trigonometry may think they understand a concept but then are unable to apply that understanding when they attempt to complete exercises. This innovative book helps them overcome common barriers to learning the concepts and builds confidence in their ability to do mathematics. The second edition presents new sections on modeling at the end of each chapter as well as new material on Limits and Early Functions. Numerous Parallel Words and Math examples are included that provide more detailed annotations using everyday language. Your Turn exercises reinforce concepts and allow readers to see the connection between the problems and examples. Catch the Mistake exercises also enable them to review answers and find errors in the given solutions. This approach gives them the skills to understand and apply trigonometry.

The 3rd edition of Cynthia Young's Algebra and Trigonometry brings together all the elements that have  allowed instructors and learners to successfully "bridge the gap"  between classroom instruction and independent homework by  overcoming common learning barriers and building confidence in  students' ability to do mathematics. Written in a clear, voice that speaks to students and mirrors how instructors communicate in lecture, Young's hallmark pedagogy enables students to become independent, successful learners. Varied exercise types and modeling projects keep the learning fresh and motivating. The seamless integration of Cynthia Young's Algebra and Trigonometry, 3rd  edition with WileyPLUS, a  research-based, online environment for effective teaching and  learning, continues Young's vision of building student confidence  in mathematics because it takes the guesswork out of studying by  providing them with a clear roadmap: what to do, how to do it, and  whether they did it right.WileyPLUS sold separately from text.
