okay i guess that means i can stop...
honestly, trig is mostly memorization as opposed to comprehension (which calculus is 100x cooler)
in that class, just remember doing unit circle, identities, vectors, graphs, law of sines/cosines
you can honestly learn all the trig you'll need to know in less than a month

If your finding a book, then it depends on what level of math are you planning to learn. Trigonometry is a very large topic.. when you mentioned you didnt know the basics of it, then i would assume your learning it in school instead of university. Thomas' Calculus, Early Transcendentals is meant for university students who have basics in maths, if you find it too hard then i would recomend the school's textbooks.

If you want an excellent textbook with many difficult problems and proofs I would highly suggest "Trigonometry" by Gelfand and Saul. Gelfand is one of the 20th century's great mathematicians. It is a dover book, so very cheap. I found it user friendly and was able to read the whole thing without any teacher input. It does not assume that you already know any trigonometry or more advanced mathematics. After reading it once I found myself able to solve AIME and Olympiad trigonometry problems. This is one of my top three favorite math books in my collection of more 50.

I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK ENOUGH AND IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!

After a recommendation like that (and lack of other recommendations), I think I'll go for it. Thanks a bunch.
