| Trigonometry the Easy Way is an excellent way to learn trig. The best thing about this book is author's teaching method: it is completely inductive. The book is in the form of a fantasy story that takes place in an imaginary kingdom. The reader discovers trig as the characters in the story discover it. From their experiences, the characters draw principles or formulas of trigonometry. Most math books take a deductive approach: they present the general principles first, then apply them. I find that the inductive approach works much better, because the student learns to understand, rather than memorize, the principles. I highly recommend this book. |
