MATH 1803 Trigonometry
Definitions of trigonometric functions of an acute angle are applied to the solution of right triangles, then extended to define the circular functions. Precalculus applications of the circular functions, including complex number arithmetic, are studied in detail. Topics include functions, graphs, similarity, identities and conditional equations, the laws of cosines and sines, and DeMoivre's theorem. Skills for success in more advanced courses are emphasized. Consequently, the student must have a strong working knowledge of algebra before entering this course. AAS: Mathematics elective.
