It is obvious that the author has spent a great deal of time to incorporate technology in an appropriate way. I particularly like the way in which he asks the student to first check graphically the trig identity(s) he/she is trying to prove. Technology Investigations really help students to have a better and more meaningful understanding of the subject matter. They also help students to have a deeper conceptual understanding. Both the presentation of the materials and the problem sets are excellent. The text contains outstanding applied problems. Additionally, it contains well thought out 'Discovery Projects.'
