Description:

Plane Trigonometry is a field of mathematics that plays a significant role in a wide range of careers such as architecture, engineering, aerospace, the construction industry, surveying and concrete management. MATH 1720 provides an in-depth study of trigonometry where students study the trigonometric functions of the acute and general angle, circular functions, graphs of trigonometric and inverse functions, trigonometric identities, solutions of right and general triangles, solving trigonometric equations, and elementary concepts of vectors.
