Chapter 1 presents the definitions and basic properties of trigonometric functions including: Sum Identities, Difference Identities, Product-Sum Identities and Sum-Product Identities. These formulas provide effective tools to solve the problems in trigonometry.
Chapter 2 handles the most important two theorems in trigonometry: The laws of sines and cosines and show how they can be applied to derive many well known theorems including: Ptolemy¡¦s theorem, Euler Triangle Formula, Ceva¡¦s theorem, Menelaus¡¦s Theorem, Parallelogram Law, Stewart¡¦s theorem and Brahmagupta¡¦s Formula. Moreover, the formulas of computing a triangle area like Heron¡¦s formula and Pick¡¦s theorem are also discussed.
Chapter 3 deals with the method of superposition, inverse trigonometric functions, polar forms and De Moivre¡¦s Theorem.
