This paper presents some innovative teaching strategies and a careful organization of the subject‐matter of trigonometry so that (micro)computers may be utilized in trigonometry courses. A brief historical sketch of trigonometry is also given; this clarifies, justifies, and motivates our approach. A useful computer program for solving triangles on (micro)computers is given. This is an excellent instructional device but, more importantly, the teacher may use it as an aid (i.e., the teacher may analyse‐dissect it) while learning to write similar computer programs.
