Product Review
"We decided, as a committee, to adopt Trigonometry because it was the best text available at the time that met all of our adoption criteria. The most important criteria were: 1) included all the necessary topics, 2) well organized and readable by students, 3) clear and careful explanations of topics covered, and 4) a good selection of problems. It has met our expectations because it did, if [sic] fact, meet up to all of our needs."
"The examples in this text are well done. Students are very frustrated when too many steps are left out of an example, but these seem to present their reasoning pretty clearly. In Section 4.3 (graphing with phase shifts) the examples are well constructed and worked out. I appreciate how they start by showing lots of detail and eventually, as you progress through the section, the information is boiled that [sic] down to the essential data -- which is what we want students to be able to do. The greatest strengths in this text are its coverage of graphing, the right triangle approach to the development of the trig functions, and the organization of the examples (with line by line explanations of the step being performedIt really helps students follow the process if there is ’narration’ to what is going on."
"The writing style is well-done and commensurate to the level of our students. The author’s writing style is clear, concise, and economical. The author does not waste words in describing a topic or explaining a concept. The presentation of ideas and concepts are [sic] straight-forward, logical, and can be easily understood The text is well organized, the format is logical and the outline of the problems is easy to follow."
