103 Trigonometry Problems: From the Training of the USA IMO Team by Birkhäuser Boston

A beautiful source of interesting problems

I deeply consider that this is a very stimulating problem book that contains a variety of problems and their solutions.
This book is of high interest to anyone who wishes to pursue research in elementary trigonometry and its applications. It is also excellent for students who want to enhance their skills in elementary mathematics to support their research in other fields such as geometry, algebra or mathematical analysis. Some of the problems contained in the book are also suitable for undergraduate students.
I STRONGLY recommend this book to all who wish to find an excellent source of interesting and modern problems in trigonometry.

Product Description

103 Trigonometry Problems contains highly-selected problems and solutions used in the training and testing of the USA International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team. Though many problems may initially appear impenetrable to the novice, most can be solved using only elementary high school mathematics techniques.

Key features:

* Gradual progression in problem difficulty builds and strengthens mathematical skills and techniques

* Basic topics include trigonometric formulas and identities, their applications in the geometry of the triangle, trigonometric equations and inequalities, and substitutions involving trigonometric functions

* Problem-solving tactics and strategies, along with practical test-taking techniques, provide in-depth enrichment and preparation for possible participation in various mathematical competitions

* Comprehensive introduction (first chapter) to trigonometric functions, their relations and functional properties, and their applications in the Euclidean plane and solid geometry expose advanced students to college level material

103 Trigonometry Problems is a cogent problem-solving resource for advanced high school students, undergraduates, and mathematics teachers engaged in competition training.
