4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book But Could Have Used a Proofreader Or Two Dec 19 2007
By Thomas P. Connolly - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was in a bit of a quandary as to how to rate this book. I bought the book and the companion "Trigonometry Workbook for Dummies" to refresh my trig skills, long rusted after nearly 50 years of little use. Both books are really quite good although the workbook could be more comprehensive. The big problem with the workbook, and to a lesser extent with the "Trigonometry for Dummies" book, is the large number of errors in the book. One works out a very complicated identity problem only to find that the stated problem is different from the problem answered due to typographical errors. I don't think I went seven pages in the workbook without finding an error. Most of the errors were changed minus or plus signs. This made maintaining confidence in the book very difficult.

One would think that a big publisher like Wiley would employ competent proofreaders. I would also expect them to have an errata sheet somewhere on their web page. But, nooo, nothing helpful there at all except a glossary they forgot to put in this book.

Overall, both books were very helpful, with the exception of not having a lot of confidence that the answer to the problem I was trying to solve would be correct.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for any Trigonometry student who is struggling Jun 4 2006
By Judge - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I bought this book and two others at the beginning of my college Trig class. This book is the only one that I used. It was the best investment for the class that I could have made. Trigonometry for Dummies provided all the fundamental concepts that were covered in college Trig and explained them so that even a non-math major like myself could understand. I would highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with college Trigonmetry, or if you are looking for a great book to refresh your skills.
