Trigonometry Enhanced with Graphing Utilities - Tapa dura

Designed for a college Trigonometry course which requires that students use a graphing calculator or a computer software graphing package. This text uses the graphing utility to enhance the study of mathematics. Technology is exmphasized as a tool to solve problems, motivate concepts, and explore mathematical ideas. Sullivan's Series "Enhanced with Graphing Utilities" provides clear and focused coverage. Many of the problems are solved using both algebra and a graphing utility, and the text illustrates the advantages and benefits of each approach. Technology is used to solve problems when no algebraic solution is available and to help students visualize certain concepts. Topics such as curve-fitting and data analysis and CBL projects are incorporated as appropriate.

Written by authors while using graphing utilities in their own classroom, these texts fully utilize graphing utilities in order for students to explore and discover important precalculus concepts. This series combines the successful writing style of the authors with cutting edge technology. Professors and students alike will find that these texts present the material at the correct pace--with an appropriate emphasis on the technology as a tool and mathematics as the subject.
