    Book Trigonometry
Click For Summary
To strengthen trigonometry skills, several recommendations for in-depth problem-solving books are discussed. A dedicated trigonometry book, rather than a precalculus one, is preferred, with suggestions including a used edition by Larson, Hostetler, & Edwards, which is considered acceptable even if it's 12 to 30 years old. "Advanced Trigonometry" by C. V. Durell and A. Robson, published in 1930 and available as a Dover reprint, is highlighted for its depth, despite not introducing new concepts. For a more recreational approach, "Trigonometric Delights" by Eli Maor is recommended as an enjoyable read. Additionally, "Before Calculus" by Louis Leithold is mentioned as a valuable resource for self-studying precalculus.

I am currently trying to strengthen my trigonometry skills and am therefore looking for a trigonometry problem solving book which contains practice problems and goes very in-depth. Does anyone know of any books which could help me with this?

Buy a USED trigonometry book. Maybe by Larson, Hostetler, & Edwards. Better a dedicated Trigonometry book instead of a PreCalculus book. If the book is 12 to 30 years old, it is probably very very acceptable.
 
I like
Advanced Trigonometry
by C. V. Durell and A. Robson
1930
available as a dover reprint
At first I was expecting to se some new things. There are not really any new things, but it helps one to get more out of the trigonometry they have.

If you like recreational type trig
Trigonometric Delights by Eli Maor
is a nice book to read on saturday night.
 
I self-studied precalc using "Before Calculus" by Louis Leithold. He has an amazing calculus book too.
 
Hi all, Hope you are doing well. I'm a current grad student in applied geophysics and will finish my PhD in about 2 years (previously did a HBSc in Physics, did research in exp. quantum optics). I chose my current field because of its practicality and its clear connection to industry, not out of passion (a clear mistake). I notice that a lot of people (colleagues) switch to different subfields of physics once they graduate and enter post docs. But 95% of these cases fall into either of...
