Basic Trigonometry In One Week: With an introduction to brain based learning (BBL)
This book is not a complete solution to all learning problems. But it is certainly a beginning in the right direction. It stands out from its competitors due to its radical approach to the principles and techniques of learning.
The book starts off by presenting what it is and what it isn't. Then challenges the reader to self examine who they are.
"Are you fast learner, or a slow learner. Are you good at math, or having a hard time with it"
It goes on to discuss fast learning vs slow learning, also detailing the procedures involved in an effective learning process with an exposition on Brain Based Learning (BBL).
Learning techniques like spaced repetition and active recalling using flash cards are discussed in great detail.
It also discusses the benefits of meditation methods to achieve a focused mindset necessary for learning.
The trigonometry part is divided into 7 chapters-"The Seven Days", each consisting of 3 sessions, making a total of 21 sessions.
In addition to numerous examples and problems, the chapters contain explanations on some basic questions in mathematics like:
Why can't we divide by zero?Why a complete rotation is 360 degrees?What is the difference between an equation and an identity? etc.Problem solving is regarded with high importance, since entire sessions are dedicated to them.
The book features topics like:
Angles and its unitsTrigonometric functionsPythagoras TheoremTrigonometric IdentitiesProving IdentitiesQuadrants and sign conventionAllied anglesDouble and triple angle formulaeTips and tricks for memorizing formulae at the end of each chapter.Final Quiz for final brush upAnd many more...
