With the ninth edition, the author continues to revolutionize the way students learn material by incorporating more real-world applications, ongoing review, and innovative technology. How Do You See It? exercises give students practice applying the concepts, and new Summarize features, Checkpoint problems, and a Companion Website reinforce understanding of the skill sets to help students better prepare for tests.Review"The greatest strengths [of Larson TRIGONOMETRY] are the numerous exercises along with the problem sets, clear explanations and [his] clean layout and presentation.""I like the "Algebra Connection" boxes. . . . Reminding students that factoring a trig equation is similar to factoring a polynomial . . . helps relieve students' anxiety [and motivates] them that they have practiced this process successfully before."About the AuthorDr. Ron Larson is a professor of mathematics at The Pennsylvania State University, where he has taught since 1970.
