Trigonometry
by I. M. Gelfand, Mark Saul · Birkhäuser
A short, problem-driven text from the Gelfand School Outreach Program that builds trigonometric functions from geometry, then treats them as functions in their own right. Readers learn addition formulas, identities, and graphs and come away prepared for calculus.
