This article introduces a trigonometric field (TF) that extends the field of real numbers by adding two new elements: sin and cos--satisfying an axiom sin[superscript 2] + cos[superscript 2] = 1. It is shown that by assigning meaningful names to particular elements of the field, all known trigonometric identities may be introduced and proved. Two…

This book is a sequel to MATHEMATICAL CHALLENGES, which was published in 1965. In this sequel are 100 problems, together with their printed solutions. The problems range from those that are quite simple to those that will challenge even the most ardent problem solver, and they include examples from algebra, geometry, number theory, probability,…

This booklet, developed by the Oregon Vo-Tech Math Project, contains a series of mathematical problems related to vocations in agriculture. The mathematical topics on which problems are based include whole numbers; fractions; decimals; percent; use of formulas; charts and graphs; ratio and proportion; solution of equations; perimeter, area, and…
