Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around resources and strategies for self-studying basic high school mathematics. Participants share recommendations for books and online resources, as well as suggestions for additional topics to cover.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest including online resources such as Khan's Academy and MathIsPower4u.com for self-study.
  • One participant recommends the book "Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer/Oakley, noting its clarity compared to Lang's Basic Mathematics.
  • Another participant expresses interest in a review of the best online resources for studying mathematics.
  • There is a suggestion to add a section on Combinatorics, Probability, and Descriptive Statistics to the study materials.
  • Participants mention specific problem books, including those by Titu Andreescu and Schaum's Outlines: Intermediate Algebra, as valuable resources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of the suggested resources, but there is no consensus on which specific resources are the best or most comprehensive.

Contextual Notes

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
