MATH 185 - Trigonometry

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MATH

Description:

PRE: College Preparatory Algebra and Geometry Course Description Includes trigonometric functions, inverse functions, trigonometric identities, reduction formulas, half and double angle formulas, solutions of triangles and other applications. Course Objectives (1) Identify and apply problem solving skills to solve challenges created by real-world problems. (2) Define the six trigonometric functions in terms of a right triangle and in terms of an angle in standard position given a point on the terminal side of the angle. (3) Relate the circular function definitions and the unit circle to the trigonometric function definitions. (4) Use a calculator to find the values of the trigonometric functions for any angle and to find the measure of an angle given the value of one of its trigonometric functions. (5) Convert angle measures between degrees, DMS, and radians. (6) Verify trigonometric identities by making substitutions and recalling basic identities. (7) Solve trigonometric equations. (8) Find the values of inverse trigonometric functions. (9) Solve practical problems involving triangles using the trigonometric functions, the Pythagorean Theorem, the Law of Sines, and the Law of Cosines. (10) Recognize and find restrictions for the graphs of the six trigonometric functions and the inverse trigonometric functions. (11) Develop and use formulas such as sum and difference of two angles, double-angle, and half-angle. (12) Understand and use vectors and complex numbers. (13) Translate mathematical problems, equations, and ideas into written expressions.
