SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on effective self-study strategies for basic high school mathematics. Key resources recommended include Khan Academy and MathIsPower4u.com for online learning, as well as the book "Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer/Oakley, which is praised for its clarity compared to Lang's Basic Mathematics. Additionally, participants suggest incorporating topics such as Combinatorics, Probability, and Descriptive Statistics, along with problem-solving resources like Titu Andreescu's problem books and Schaum's Outlines: Intermediate Algebra.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with basic mathematical concepts
  • Access to online learning platforms such as Khan Academy
  • Understanding of combinatorial principles and probability
  • Knowledge of problem-solving techniques in mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Khan Academy's high school mathematics courses
  • Read "Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer/Oakley
  • Study Combinatorics and Probability through online resources

Doing an review Insight on the best online resources would be great too!
 
I also recommend the book called "Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer/Oakley. The book is more or less on the level of Lang's Basic Mathematics, but has a clearer exposition than Lang in my opinion. After reading that book, I do not recall a need for extra books on the high-school mathematics.
 
Quite valuable info. Really helpful!
 
Great, exactly what i was looking for!

Maybe you should also add a section on Combinatorics, Probability and Descriptive statistics

and for problem books there is the Titu Andreescu problem books and Schaum's Outlines: Intermediate Algebra
