Textbook:Trigonometry, by Lial, Hornsby, Schneider, and Daniels, 11th edition

Calculator:Scientific (non-graphing) calculator required

Description:An introductory study of the trigonometric functionsusing coordinates, angles, right triangles, and the unit circle. Topics include basic and advanced identities, analysis of graphs, right

and oblique triangles, and applications.

Objectives:Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able

to: evaluate trig functions for coordinates, angles and arcs; solve

right andoblique triangles and their applications; graph and

identifycharacteristics of trig functions; and evaluate expressions

using trig identities.

Tests:Four tests are given throughout the semester. Any student who misses a test or scores below 30% will receive a zero for that test.

No make-up tests are given. The tests are tentatively scheduled

for the following dates:

1 / 2 / 3 / 4
Tue Feb 7 / Tue Mar 7 / Thu Apr 6 / Thu Apr 27

Homework:Homework will be assigned and submitted using the website Students will receive a bonus

multiplied to each test grade) based on the homework average.
