The discussion centers around recommendations for trigonometry books suitable for beginners and self-study. Participants explore various resources, including textbooks and alternative learning platforms.
Participants express varying preferences for resources, with some advocating for traditional textbooks while others suggest online platforms. No consensus on a single best resource emerges.
Some participants assume prior knowledge of Intermediate Algebra is necessary for effective self-study in trigonometry, which may limit the applicability of certain recommendations.
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.BadgerBadger92 said:I am teaching myself math and wondering if any of you have recommendations on trigonometry books for beginners and self study. Any help is appreciated!
