Make trigonometry as easy as 1-2-3. Believe it or not, trigonometry is easier than it looks! With the right help, you can breeze through your next trig class, test, or exam and be ready for your next math challenge. In Trigonometry For Dummies, you'll learn to understand the basics of sines, cosines, and tangents, graph functions, solve tough formulas, and even discover how to use trig outside the classroom in some cool and interesting ways. Many of the exciting and, yes, practical accomplishments of early humans were performed using trigonometry. Even before it was formalized into a particular topic to study or used to solve problems, trigonometry helped people to sail across large bodies of water, build gigantic structures, plot out land, and measure heights and distances — even to the stars. We still use trigonometry for all these reasons and more. For example, if you’re going to get your pilot’s license, you’ll need trigonometry. Trigonometry is also the basis for many courses in mathematics — starting in grade school with geometric shapes and map reading, and moving on through calculus. Trig is all over the place.
