Trigonometry plus MyMathLab Student Starter Kit (8th Edition)

In the eight edition of Trigonometry, we continue our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible text to help instructors teach and students succeed. To help students develop both the conceptual understanding and the analytical skills necessary to experience success in mathematics, we present each mathematical topic in the text using a systematic approach designed to actively engage students in the learning process. We have tried to address the diverse needs of today's students through a more open design, updated figures and graphs, helpful features, careful explanations of topics, and a comprehensive package of supplements and study aids. Although we assume that students have had at least one course in algebra, we include four new appendices that review algebraic prerequisites and we reference theses appendices throughout the text. Additional algebraic and geometric concepts are reviewed as needed. Students planning to continue their study of mathematics in calculus, statistics, or other disciplines, as well as those taking this as their final mathematics course, will benefit from the text's student-oriented approach. We believe instructors will particularly welcome the new Annotated Instructor's Edition, which provides answers in the margins to almost all exercises, plus helpful Teaching Tips.
