MATHEMATICS AREA

I. COURSE TITLE : PLANE AND SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY

II. COURSE NO.: Math 103 ( 3 UNITS )

III. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Plane and Spherical Trigonometry is a course for IT students. The course deals with the study of triangles particularly the relationship between the sides
and angles and their measurements; the six trigonometric functions of an acute angle of a right triangle; the six trigonometric functions of any angle; the solutions
of right and oblique triangles; the radian or circular measure of an angle; the fundamental identities; the inverse trigonometric functions; the graph of inverse
trigonometric functions; exponential and logarithmic functions and spherical trigonometry.

IV. COURSE RATIONALE:

This course enables the students to develop their skills that will enable them to study effectively more advanced courses in mathematics. Furthermore,
students should gain an appreciation of mathematics as a logical science, and the subject matter should be expounded in such a way that it conforms to the
experience and maturity of the students.

V. COURSE PRE-REQUISITE: Math 102(Modern College Algebra)
