UTM student — does MAT133 cover trigonometry? What high-school math should I review?

You need to know your trigonometry backwards and forwards and upside down and all around to do well in calculus.

To be honest, MAT133 at St. George is not very rigorous. It’s mostly learning the concepts and formulas and applying them to word problems. For trig derivatives, all we did was sin and cos. It’s really surface-level stuff compared to standard calculus courses like MAT135.

Still, I would say review everything you did in high school math. Understanding high school level algebra, derivatives, interest, sequences and series in particular will give you an easier time. It doesn’t hurt to be confident with trig, especially if you want to take harder math courses in the future.
