Nice. If you like it, work through what you don't already know and do the exercises. If you don't like it, just do the exercises.

Buy a book. Look at one of the standard Trigonometry books for students in the US (remedial trig course in college). If it is a bit too easy, then look at S. Loony : Trigonometry. It gets advanced real quick...

I remember looking at Axler: Pre-Calculus in a Nutshell. Offers full solutions for some problems. Its very cheap too. I found it clear, but I am unsure what you mean by deep...
