Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around resources for studying trigonometry, particularly for someone preparing to take a trigonometry class after a break from math. Participants share suggestions for websites and study materials that could aid in learning trigonometric concepts and formulas.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for websites that offer study guides and sheets for trigonometry.
  • Another participant suggests Wikipedia as a useful resource for looking up specific theorems and formulas related to trigonometry, although they note it may not be sufficient for comprehensive learning.
  • A participant expresses appreciation for the Wikipedia suggestion and specifies a desire for a site that teaches formulas and provides study questions, similar to a personal homework assignment.
  • A later reply recommends Khan Academy, highlighting its short videos on math topics, including trigonometry.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of Wikipedia and Khan Academy as resources, but there is no consensus on a single best resource, as preferences for learning styles vary.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified particular limitations or assumptions regarding the resources mentioned, nor have they discussed the depth or comprehensiveness of the suggested materials.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals preparing for a trigonometry class or those seeking additional study resources in mathematics may find this discussion beneficial.

I'm about to take a trig class and it's been a while since my last math class. I was wondering if you guys knew of any websites that have good trig study guides and study sheets? anything is appreciated! Thanks!

wikipedia is actually really good for looking up specific theorems and formulas. Look up trig identities and trig definitions on wiki. That being said, it probably won't be enough to "teach" you, but it will be a great reference. I know I found a few when I went back to school, but I don't remember them right now. If I find any I'll post them.
 
Cool! I really appreciate it! I knew that Wikipedia was good for that kind of stuff. I guess I'm looking mostly for a site that teaches you a formula or something and then gives you a few study questions (like a personal homework assignment). Something kind of like Khan Academy that focuses more in trig I guess is what I'm looking for.
