The lack of practice question is somewhat of a disappointment, but the book does provide ample examples with detailed solutions.If you are in the market for a basic trigonometry textbook, Spherical Trigonometry: For the Use of Colleges and Schools – with Numerous Examples/ is worthy of your consideration. Todhunter presents the subject matter concisely, and the book would be appropriate for use by either a student or a teacher.
