Mathematics: Geometry & Trigonometry

Presented by Dr. Stefan Forcey and Dr. Michael E. Reed

Geometry and trigonometry are two of the more difficult mathematics concepts. Learn about geometry and trigonometry from two assistant mathematics professors in this free video series on mathematics.

Series Summary

Most students dread any type of mathematics. Algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus are four words that can make any student's palms sweat. Understanding the difference between each subject can be of great help in the learning process. Geometry deals with size, shape and space properties. Trigonometry deals mostly with plane triangles and the relationships between the angles and sides of a triangle. In this free video series, learn about geometry and trigonometry from two assistant mathematics professors. First, learn some games that help in the process of learn geometry, basic geometrical concepts for students, step-by-step geometrical proofs and how to simplify geometrical proofs. Next, they talk about converting degrees to radians, using a calculator for trigonometry and how to use trigonometry. Finally, learn what careers these subjects are beneficial to.
