This course on trigonometry aims to help learners understand the transition from circle-ometry to trigonometry. By the end of the course, students will be able to grasp the fundamentals of trigonometry, including trig identities, graphing trig functions, fitting trig functions to data, and applying the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines. The course teaches skills such as converting between degrees and radians, using trigonometric functions, and applying trigonometric formulas. The teaching method involves a structured curriculum divided into 12 parts, each focusing on different aspects of trigonometry. This course is intended for individuals interested in advancing their knowledge of mathematics, particularly in the field of trigonometry.
