Stitz/Zeager Trigonometry (3e Corrected)

Stitz/Zeager Trigonometry, 3rd Edition Corrected — a free, openly-licensed (CC BY-SA) standalone trigonometry textbook by Carl Stitz and Jeff Zeager, extracted from the full Stitz/Zeager Precalculus volume. Eight-chapter scope mirrors the COD-adopted Lial Trigonometry 12e parent: foundations of trigonometry, the unit-circle and right-triangle definitions, graphs of trigonometric functions, applications and analytic trigonometry, complex numbers and polar coordinates, vectors and parametric equations.
