Trigonometry
The Indiana Trigonometry course "has its origins in the study of triangle measurement. Natural generalizations of the ratios of right-triangle trigonometry give rise to both trigonometric and circular functions. These functions, especially the sine and cosine, are mathematical models for many periodic real world phenomena. Students studying trigonometry should explore data from such real world phenomena, but should also identify and analyze the corresponding trigonometric models. The study of inverse trig functions; trig equations and identities; the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines; vectors; and polar coordinates should also be included in the course.
Scientific calculators and graphing technology play an important role in the development of students' understanding of the concepts of trigonometry as well as providing students with more time and power to explore realistic applications.
It is important to note that all of the objectives and competencies listed in this outline have also been included in the list of competencies for Pre-Calculus."
