This is a full trigonometry course with algebra concepts reviewed, extended, and integrated when they are relevant to the trigonometric concepts. The trigonometric topics include right triangle trigonometry, unit circle trigonometry, graphs of trigonometric functions, proofs of trigonometric identities, solving trigonometric equations, applications of trigonometric functions (laws of sines and cosines), inverse trigonometric functions, and vectors. The algebra topics include graphs of polynomial and rational functions, conic sections, the polar coordinate system, and solving equations, inequalities, and systems of equations and inequalities (including using matrices to solve systems of equations).
