Trigonometry has 2000-year-old roots in everyday useful endeavors, like finding the size of an object too big or far away to measure directly, or navigating from Point A to Point B. However, it is often taught very theoretically, with an emphasis on abstractions. Make: Trigonometry uses 3D printable models and readily-available physical objects like wire and cardboard tubes to develop intuition about concepts in trigonometry and basic analytic geometry. Readers will imagine the thought process of the people who invented these mathematical concepts, and can try out "math experiments" to see for themselves how ingenious ancient navigators and surveyors really were.The analytic geometry part of the book links equations to many of these intuitive concepts, which we explore through in-depth explanations of manipulative models of conic sections. This book is aimed at high school students who might be in Algebra II or Pre-Calculus. It shows the geometrical and practical sides of these topics that otherwise can drown in their own algebra.Make: Trigonometry builds on the basics of the authors' earlier book, Make: Geometry, and is intended as a bridge from that book to their Make: Calculus book. The user can read this book and understand the concepts from the photographs of 3D printable models alone. However, since many models are puzzle-like, we encourage the reader to print the models on any consumer-grade filament based 3D printer. The models are available for download in a freely-available open source repository. They were created in the free program OpenSCAD, and can be 3D printed or modified the student in OpenSCAD to learn a little coding along the way.About the AuthorJoan Horvath is the co-founder of Nonscriptum, a consulting and training firm that teaches educators and scientists how to use maker tech.

Perfect for special occasions or to brighten up any gift!
Color: Pink
This is a lovely, easy-to-use work with the satin ribbon; it's quite pretty. I wish the roll were a bit bigger since it's very small, but overall, it's a great product.

Coolest label maker I’ve ever come across
Color: Beige
Seriously this is such a fun way to wrap presents! It comes with ink and small labels. Must buy ribbon separately. But I love this and will definitely use it for years to come! It works via Bluetooth with an app on your phone. You can customize to whatever you want!
