Thomas W. Hungerford
Also known as: Thomas Hungerford
Thomas William Hungerford was an American mathematician who worked in algebra and mathematics education. Hungerford did his undergraduate work at the College of the Holy Cross and defended his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Chicago in 1963 (advised by Saunders Mac Lane). He is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen widely used and widely cited textbooks covering high school to graduate level mathematics. From 1963 until 1980, he taught at the University of Washington, and then at Cleveland State University until 2003. From 2003–2014, he was at Saint Louis University. Hungerford had a special interest in promoting the use of technology to teach mathematics. Source: [Wikipedia](

Trigonometry
Trigonometry, a work in the collection of the Gelfand School Program, is the result of a collaboration between two experienced pre-college teachers, one of whom, I.M. Gelfand, is considered to be among our most distinguished living mathematicians. His impact on generations of young people, some now mathematicians of renown, continues to be remarkable. Trigonometry covers all the basics of the subject through beautiful illustrations and examples. The definitions of the trigonometric functions are geometrically motivated. Geometric relationships are rewritten in trigonometric form and extended. The text then makes a transition to the study of algebraic and analytic properties of trigonometric functions, in a way that provides a solid foundation for more advanced mathematical discussions. Throughout, the treatment stimulates the reader to think of mathematics as a unified subject. Like other I.M. Gelfand treasures in the program—Algebra, Functions and Graphs, and The Method of Coordinates—Trigonometry is written in an engaging style, and approaches the material in a unique fashion that will motivate students and teachers alike. From a review of Algebra, I.M. Gelfand and A. Shen, ISBN 0-8176-3677-3: "The idea behind teaching is to expect students to learn why things are true, rather than have them memorize ways of solving a few problems, as most of our books have done. [This] same philosophy lies behind the current text by Gel'fand and Shen. There are specific 'practical' problems but there is much more development of the ideas.... [The authors] have shown how to write a serious yet lively book on algebra." —R. Askey, The American Mathematics Monthly
