Rashevsky's Trigonometry: A Complete Course in Plane Trigonometry
by K. N. Rashevsky
Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD
A faithful English edition of the classical Russian trigonometry textbook. A complete course in plane trigonometry — the trigonometric functions, radian measure and the unit circle, identities, equations, and the solution of triangles — built the way the Russian school tradition built it: define, prove, apply.

How this book fits
See the whole sequence →Work through first
- Elementary Algebra$69.95
- Kiselev's Algebra II$54.95
Covers much of the same ground
- Derzhavin's Trigonometry$54.95
Derzhavin is the full course — 192 pages, 86 numbered sections — and adds logarithmic tables, measurement in the field, the computation of π and a chapter of trigonometric equations.
Anoshchenko is the full course — 188 pages in three parts and 25 chapters — and adds field triangulation, trigonometric equations, inverse trigonometric quantities and maxima and minima.
These overlap heavily. Each note says what that book has which this one does not — the differences are what decide between them.
