I’m looking for a trigonometry book. Its been a few years, and I need a refresher. Does anyone know of a good trigonometry book that could also act as a reference? I’m looking for something that swings more towards calc than towards algebra. Thanks in advance for your help.

If you know a math teacher or a math student that is a good source. What I mean to say is that teachers usually have an extra book that they are willing to give away.

Or if you live near New Jersey I could send it to you

I have no idea.

But that’s one helluva hangle, there.

Since this is a matter of opinion, I’ll move this to IMHO.
