Title: Periodic Functions

Book Description: This WorkBook has as its aim to help readers understand the properties of trigonometric functions, beginning with the "wrapping function definitions" through the exploration of periodic functions, in particular, the sine and cosine functions. From student observations, they learn about properties of these functions, such as amplitude, period and frequency, and phase shift. Readers are able to change the values of these properties and observe how these changes affect the shape of the graph of the periodic functions. The book has many interactions that exercise the readers' current understanding, such as opportunities to guess the equations of randomly generated periodic functions.
