Course Name: MATH 11022 Trigonometry
Description: The course is designed to develop an understanding of topics which are fundamental to the study of Trigonometry. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of trigonometric functions in multiple representations, right and oblique triangles, the unit circle, and circular functions. We will use appropriate models for finding solutions to trigonometry related problems with and without technology. The students will be introduced to the art of rudimentary mathematical proofs via trigonometric identities.
Graphing applications will play a dominant role in the course. The course will be built around Italian and Greek mathematicians who contributed to the study of trigonometry. We will do several applications of trigonometry in Italian architecture. In-class activities and explorations will be designed around various Italian and Greek mathematicians and related themes.
