Trigonometry, by C. P. McKeague and M. D. Turner is very well organized and written. The examples in the book have figures that involve everyday apparatus or structures such as bicycles, swings, buildings and ski trams. This approach allows one to easily recognize the initial facts or information, and then visualize the subsequent trigonometric relationships described in the problem. Consequently, the statements or transparency of the questions become evident and the student can then explore the possible solutions to the problem. The later sections of the book give excellent examples and explanations of trigonometric functions that will definitely be encountered if a student goes into physics or engineering. A motivated person could self-teach trigonometry using this book. Nothing left to the imaiinatgon. Trigonometry, by C. P. McKeague and M. D. Turner is very well organized and written.

Currently the relatively frigid home of R. Ll., with lots of snow in the mountains, odd though that may seem for a Mediterranean island. I dont' know if I qualify as a science teacher, but I do spend a lot of time thinking about how to show concepts clearly. Would you like to check out my latest attempt, aobut the Triassic? It's called When Dinos Dawned, and I can have the publishers send a copy. If I can be of any use for your project, great, and if not, at least you get a copy of the book. Is this address still good? 209 Mississippi Street San Francisco DA 94107 Cheers, Hannah Hi Larry,
