Overview of Trigonometric Delights Book

In this book, Maor rejects the usual arid descriptions of the sine and cosine functions and their trigonometric relatives. He brings the subject to life in a compelling blend of mathematics, history and biography. From the proto-trigonometry of the Egyptian pyramid builders to Renaissance Europe s quest for more accurate artillery, from the earliest known trigonometric table, carved on a clay tablet by an unknown Babylonian scholar, to Fourier s famous theorem, which finally explained the source of musical harmony, here is a rich tapestry of almost four thousand years of trigonometric history. Trigonometric Delights will change forever our view of a once-dreaded subject.
