SL 1 - 4/15/13

On Monday we'll take a quiz on non-right angle triangle trig - mainly focusing on areas of triangles, the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. Then we'll jump into more advanced trig, looking at sine and cosine etc. as functions of *time* or some other independent variable that may not be obviously related to an angle.

I'll return your Exploration drafts and we'll continue to work on those through the end of the year. See you in class.
Mr. Alei
