Best math textbook covering these topics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding advanced mathematics textbooks suitable for college admission test preparation, specifically covering topics such as polynomials, functions, algebraic equations, logarithmic functions, complex numbers, and various geometries. Two recommended textbooks are "Basic Mathematics" by Morris Kline, which emphasizes geometry, and "Principles of Mathematics" by Allendoerfer and Oakley, which includes calculus and probability. These resources provide comprehensive coverage of essential high school topics at a higher level.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of high school mathematics concepts
  • Familiarity with algebraic equations and inequalities
  • Basic knowledge of functions, including linear and quadratic
  • Awareness of geometric principles in 2D and 3D
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Basic Mathematics" by Morris Kline for geometry focus
  • Explore "Principles of Mathematics" by Allendoerfer and Oakley for calculus and probability
  • Investigate additional resources on combinatorics
  • Look into advanced textbooks covering trigonometric functions and complex numbers
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for college admission tests, educators seeking advanced mathematics resources, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of high school mathematics at a higher level.

Hi everyone! I am starting to prepare for my admission test into college next year and I am looking for a best textbook which covers these topics ( with an adition of other it may also include but not disclude these)
Polynomials
Functions ( linear, quadratic )
Algebraic equations and inequalities
Logarithmic exponential and trigonometric functions
Complex numbers
Analytic geometry
Plae geometry
3d geometry
Combinatoris
I know that there are many books written on each topic but is there one or max 3 book dealing with this remindee od high school but on essentially higher level?
Which advance textbook(s) would you recommend?
