From the Authors: By tradition, trigonometry is an important component of mathematics courses at high school, and trigonometry questions are always set at oral and written examinations to those entering universities, engineering colleges, and teacher-training institutes. The aim of this study aid is to help the student to master the basic techniques of solving difficult problems in trigonometry using appropriate definitions and theorems from the school course of mathematics. To present the material in a smooth way, we have enriched the text with some theoretical material from the textbook Algebra and Fundamentals of Analysis edited by Academician A. N. Kolmogorov and an experimental textbook of the same title by Professors N.Ya. Vilenkin, A.G. Mordkovich, and V.K. Smyshlyaev, focussing our attention on the application of theory to solution of problems. That is why our book contains many worked competition problems and also some problems to be solved independently (they are given at the end of each chapter, the answers being at the end of the book). Some of the general material is taken from Elementary Mathematics by Professors G.V. Dorofeev, M.K. Potapov, and N.Kh. Rozov (Mir Publishers, Moscow, 1982), which is one of the best study aids on mathematics for precollege students. We should like to note here that geometrical problems which can be solved trigonometrically and problems involving integrals with trigonometric functions are not considered. At present, there are several problem hooks on mathematics (trigonometry included) for those preparing to pass their entrance examinations (for instance, Problems at Entrance Examinations in Mathematics by Yu.V. Nesterenko, S.N. Olekhnik, and M.K. Potapov (Moscow, Nauka, 1983); A Collection of Competition Problems in Mathematics with Hints and Solutions edited by A.I. PriIepko (Moscow, Nauka, 1986); A Collection of Problems in Mathematics for Pre-college Students edited by A. I. Prilepko (Moscow, Vysshaya Shkola, 1983); A Collection of Competition Problems in Mathematics for Those Entering Engineering Institutes edited by M.1. Skanavi (Moscow, Vysshaya Shkola, 1980). Some problems have been borrowed from these for our study aid and we are grateful to their authors for the permission to use them. The beginning of a solution to a worked example is marked by the symbol .... and its end by the symbol ~. The symbol ~ indicates the end of the proof of a statement. Our book is intended for high-school and pre-college students. We also hope that it will be helpful for the school children studying at the "smaller" mechanicomathematical faculty of Moscow State University.

He teaches courses for future teachers in the Mathematics Department. He served as the site director for the Show-Me Project, an NSF-funded project supporting the dissemination and implementation of standards-based middle grades mathematics curricula. He worked on the NSF grant Tinker Plots to develop new data analysis software and he serves on the Advisory Boards for several other national projects. From 1992-1997, he directed the NSF-funded Six Through Eight Mathematics (STEM) middle school mathematics curriculum project and is now directing the Middle Grades MATH Thematics Phase II Project. Dr. Billstein has published articles in over 20 different journals and has co-authored over 40 books, including 10 editions of A Problem Solving Approach to Mathematics for Elementary Teachers . He typically does about 25 regional and national presentations per year and has worked in mathematics education at the international level. He presently serves on the Editorial Board of NCTM’s Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. Dr. Billstein was recently awarded the George M. Dennison Presidential Faculty Award for Distinguished Accomplishment at the University of Montana.

Dr. Barbara Boschmans teaches in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Northern Arizona University. She received her BsEd (1995), MAT (1997), and EdD (2003) in Mathematics Education from Northern Arizona University. She has taught at Arizona State University (AZ), Plymouth State University (NH), and Northern Arizona University (AZ). Dr. Boschmans has taught a variety of mathematics and mathematics education courses. She has been a frequent speaker at local, state, national, and international conferences. She has been a board member of the New Hampshire Teachers of Mathematics and the Arizona Association of Teachers of Mathematics. Dr. Boschmans is interested in bringing a joy and appreciation of mathematics to preservice and inservice elementary teachers, and changing non-STEM students’ fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Shlomo Libeskind is a professor in the mathematics department at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon, and has been responsible there for the mathematics teaching major since 1986. In addition to teaching and advising pre-service and in-service teachers, Dr. Libeskind has extensive writing experience (books, articles, and workshop materials) as well as in directing mathematics education projects. In teaching and in writing, Dr. Libeskind uses a heuristic approach to problem solving and proof; in this approach the reasonableness of each step in a solution or proof is emphasized along with a discussion on why one direction might be more promising than another. As part of his focus on the improvement of the teaching of mathematics, Dr. Libeskind is also involved at many levels locally, nationally and worldwide in the evaluation of mathematics teacher preparation programs. In his home state he is actively involved in schools and councils, as well as in reviewing materials for the state standards for college admission. Most recently (spring 2008) he visited teacher colleges in Israel as a Fulbright Fellow. During this visit he conducted observations and critiques of the preparation of mathematics teachers at several colleges in Northern Israel. Dr. Libeskind received his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Mathematics at the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) and his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Johnny W. Lott began his teaching career in the public schools of DeKalb County, Georgia, outside Atlanta. There he taught mathematics in grades 8-12. He also taught one year at the Westminster Schools, grades 9-12, and one year in the Pelican, Alaska, school, grades 6-12. Johnny is the co-author of several books and has written numerous articles and other essays in the "Arithmetic Teacher", "Teaching Children Mathematics", "The Mathematics Teacher", "School Science and Mathematics", "Student Math Notes", and "Mathematics Education Dialogues". He was the Project Manager for the "Figure This!" publications and website developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and was project co-director of the State Systemic Initiative for Montana Mathematics and Science (SIMMS) Project. He has served on many NCTM committees, has been a member of its Board of Directors, and was its president from April 2002-April 2004. Dr. Lott is Professor Emeritus from the Department of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Montana, having been a full professor. He is currently the Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, Professor of Mathematics, and Professor of Education at the University of Mississippi. Additionally, he is on the Steering Committee of the Park City Mathematics Institute, works with the International Seminar, the Designing and Delivering Professional Development Seminar, and is editor for its high school publications. His doctorate is in mathematics education from Georgia State University.

Research Interests

I am interested in the impact of technology on the teaching and learning of mathematics at the undergraduate level.  In particular I am working with prospective secondary mathematics teachers and investigating the ways in which they interpret and link various representations.  The mathematical context involves the investigation of properties and characteristics of functions in the presence of technology.

Math 235: Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I.      Mathematical development of arithmetic and problem solving as those subjects are currentlytaught in elementary schools. 

Math 236: Mathematics for Elementary Teachers II.

Math 301:  Early Childhood Mathematics

Math 513:  Problem Solving throughout History
