Can some diagrams be borrowed from wikipedia? e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometry.

Gee, someone needs to find some suitable diagrams. I had a tough time describing right triangles and a unit circle only in words... and I'm too lazy to find diagrams :-\. Ugen64 01:58, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I'll make some in SodiPodi right now..Thunderbolt16 05:15, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I drew it incorrectly with not the hyp to the unit circle to the leg. I'll fix this pretty quick

Um, where are the answers?

...to the exercises

Some notation for an angle must be included in defining the trig ratios because the value of the angle measure is one of the three variables in the equation. Math anxious students need to see as many visaul clues as possible in order for them to build an understanding of this concept.

Elementary Trigonometric Functions
Their teachers have taught my children the memory aid "SOHCAHTOA", pronounced so-ka-toe-a. Sin == Opposite / Hypotenuse, Cos == Adjacent / Hypotenuse. Tan == Opposite / Adjacent. This might be considered for adding to this section. Walrii 20:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

It's not clear what useful role this page plays in the book. I think it is simply an introduction to the topic of trigonometry, which already exists in more well-developed form at the beginning of the book. Any objections to deleting the page? Douglas W. Mitchell (talk) 16:22, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
