Hey Guys
Been ages since I touched anything maths and 3d based and well the dust has crept in. So am in need of a trigonometry refreshers. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good primer/refresher I can tackle to get my brain back into it.
Thanks

Re: Primer suggestions
I'd keep them as black boxes if I were you 
but that triganometry page on wikipedia does give you the formula

Re: Primer suggestions
I used "3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development" by Dunn and Parberry. Its a good book that covers pretty much everything you need.

Re: Primer suggestions
If you want to repeat some school-math you can have a look at http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/.
For 3D related topics I'd suggest you to have a look at their sites about: Geometry, Trigonomitry, Vectors and Matrices.
They also have some more-or-less good learning games for each topic.
