Other Best trigonometry books for beginners and self study

Click For Summary
For those teaching themselves trigonometry, several resources are recommended. A solid understanding of Intermediate Algebra is essential before tackling trigonometry. College-level textbooks, such as Larson & Hostetler's "Trigonometry," are suitable for self-study and can often be found at local libraries or community colleges for a fraction of the retail price. Additionally, free resources like OpenStax textbooks and Schaums Outlines on Trigonometry are valuable for supplemental learning. Jan Gullberg's "Birth of Numbers" offers historical insights along with trigonometric concepts. Online platforms like Khan Academy are also suggested as effective alternatives to traditional textbooks.

Instead of a book, have you looked at Khan Academy?

As long as you have very successfully studied Intermediate Algebra, then just about any college standard textbook for a course on Trigonometry should be fine for anyone to use in self-study. You should be able to find something suitable from some used-book sales such as from a local library or from the library at a community college. I recommend that way, because the prices of what are found there should be much less than $5 per book. An example of what you could use may be the Larson & Hostetler textbook "Trigonometry". If you try to buy the same thing on Barnes & Noble, the price as "used" may be there over $60.
 
Some other supplemental resources are:
- the free OpenStax textbooks on math,
- Schaums Outlines on Trigonometry
- Jan Gullbergs Birth of Numbers book which has a lot of historical side lights and a section on trigonometry as well as other math topics.
 

Thread 'A rigorous approach to learn Mathematics'

Hello Intellectuals! So far it seems to be reasonable to learn mathematics in a rigorous way by not solely considering the techniques of problem solving or the applications of a particular subject or concept. Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
