...My PhD is in applied mathematics. The basic concepts of trigonometry are constructed and derived from geometric principles, but once the student has gone through the formal definitions and constructs, trigonometry is then seen to fit into an enormous class of problems of both statics and dynamics. For scientists and engineers, a working knowledge of trigonometry is essential. (read more)
...My approach is therefore to refer back to course materials or online resources so that the student can see the process taken to arrive at a conclusion. Consequently, I ask many of questions that lead the student to the answer. I also try to summarize the process of solving the problem once it is completed, because I find reviewing helpful in cementing the concepts just covered. (read more)
