Trigonometry has 2000-year-old roots in everyday useful endeavors, like finding the size of an object too big or far away to measure directly, or navigating from Point A to Point B. However, it is often taught very theoretically, with an emphasis on abstractions. Make: Trigonometry uses 3D printable models and readily-available physical objects like wire and cardboard tubes to develop intuition about concepts in trigonometry and basic analytic geometry. Readers will imagine the thought process of the people who invented these mathematical concepts, and can try out "math experiments" to see for themselves how ingenious ancient navigators and surveyors really were.The analytic geometry part of the book links equations to many of these intuitive concepts, which we explore through in-depth explanations of manipulative models of conic sections. This book is aimed at high school students who might be in Algebra II or Pre-Calculus. It shows the geometrical and practical sides of these topics that otherwise can drown in their own algebra.Make: Trigonometry builds on the basics of the authors' earlier book, Make: Geometry, and is intended as a bridge from that book to their Make: Calculus book. The user can read this book and understand the concepts from the photographs of 3D printable models alone. However, since many models are puzzle-like, we encourage the reader to print the models on any consumer-grade filament based 3D printer. The models are available for download in a freely-available open source repository. They were created in the free program OpenSCAD, and can be 3D printed or modified the student in OpenSCAD to learn a little coding along the way.About the AuthorJoan Horvath is the co-founder of Nonscriptum, a consulting and training firm that teaches educators and scientists how to use maker tech.

Divinely Inspired
Format: Paperback
Yet another divinely inspired book from Praying Medic!!! Dave has a unique writing style of choosing his words, not to impress, but to be very readable, engaging, and most informative. This book (and others that I have read of his) leave the reader feeling informed on the topics and with a profound sense that Dave truly cares about our awareness of and safety from the perils of the spiritual battles we face. My takeaways are several relevant insights to issues and demons my own family is encountering and solid suggestions for dealing with them head-on. For someone seeking a primer (short yet meaningful chapters) on the evils that exist all around us, I strongly recommend reading what Praying Medic has presented here.

Great gift and lovely way to weave God's presence into daily life
Love these prayers. I heard about the book from a podcast of Steve Cuss (or maybe Curtis Chang?). This book is a lovely and sometimes humorous way to weave God into the day. (My favorite-- a prayer for changing diapers! I sent this to my daughter in law).
