This Trigonometry Tutorial Consists of 5 Flash programs with embedded audio. These programs will allow you to learn the Trigonometry through interactive flash programs.
Tutorial 1: Explains how trigonometry is the study of triangles, circles and angles. this tutorial illustrates what an angle is. There is a simple game at the end to help you become comfortable with radians, degrees and both positive and negative angles.

Tutorial 5: Play a game where you shoot a tank. This helps you to understand how an x-y position can be translated into an angle and distance. This emphasises the inverse tangent function. As you destroy the tank you will become more comfortable with the inverse tangent function and the idea of polar coordinates.
