Trigonometry has a reputation for being where algebra students suddenly get lost — this course rebuilds it from the unit circle up, using worked, step-by-step pen-and-paper demonstrations rather than just slides.
What's covered
- The unit circle, terminal points, reference numbers and reference angles
- Trigonometric functions, their graphs, domains and ranges
- The Law of Sines and Cosines, and proving trig identities and formulas
- Converting between polar and rectangular coordinates
- Graphing polar equations, De Moivre's Theorem, and finding nth roots of complex numbers
Each section ends with a quiz, and extra practice problems reinforce lecture material. It assumes high school algebra and basic comfort with functions, graphing and complex-number arithmetic — solid preparation for calculus, and a resource homeschooling parents can lean on too.
