Description
CENGAGE Trigonometry International Edition 6Th Edition 2009 Edition by CHARLES P. MCKEAGUE MARK TURNER
Gain a solid understanding of the principles of trigonometry and how these concepts apply to real life with McKeague/Turner's best-selling TRIGONOMETRY 6e, International Edition. This book's proven approach presents contemporary concepts in brief, manageable sections using current, detailed examples and high-interest applications. Captivating illustrations drawn from Lance Armstrong's cycling success, the Ferris wheel, and even the human cannonball show trigonometry in action. Unique Historical Vignettes offer a fascinating glimpse at how many of the central ideas in trigonometry began. TRIGONOMETRY 6e, International Edition, uses a standard right-angle approach with an emphasis on the study skills most important for success both now and in advanced courses, such as calculus. The book's proven blend of exercises, fresh applications, and projects is combined with a simplified approach to graphing and the convenience of new Enhanced WebAssign--a leading, time-saving online homework tool--and the innovative CengageNOW teaching system.With TRIGONOMETRY 6e, International Edition, you'll find everything you need for a thorough understand of trigonometry concepts now and the solid foundation you need for future coursework and career success. .
