SUMMARY

The discussion centers on transitioning from Algebra 1 to higher-level mathematics, specifically precalculus and trigonometry. The user expresses satisfaction with the "Integrated Algebra 1" book for its clear explanations and exercises. They seek recommendations for the next book, considering Amsco's series, particularly the Geometry book as a suitable follow-up. The conversation emphasizes the importance of books that balance theory with practical exercises for effective self-study.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic algebra concepts
  • Familiarity with self-study techniques
  • Knowledge of the Amsco series of mathematics textbooks
  • Basic comprehension of geometry principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Amsco's Geometry textbook for a structured approach to geometry
  • Explore Amsco's Algebra 2/Trigonometry book for advanced algebra and trigonometric concepts
  • Look for self-study resources that include exercises and examples
  • Find introductory physics books that emphasize fundamental concepts and problem-solving
USEFUL FOR

Students transitioning from Algebra 1 to higher mathematics, self-learners seeking structured textbooks, and educators looking for effective teaching resources in algebra and geometry.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to link the pdf of the book but here is an image http://pixhost.me/avaxhome/95/3a/000a3a95_medium.jpeg and I've just finished it. I really learned a lot from this book considering I knew pretty much no algebra when I first opened it 2 months ago.

Now I am looking for my second book, I think I'm ready for precalculus stuff, trig ect but I'm really fussy when it comes to books. I really dislike books which have pages and pages of text, I like something to be explained, then explained with an example and then some exercises to be solved based on what I've just been told.

That Intergrated algebra 1 book does this very very well which is why I liked it so much. I'm thinking to pick up the next book from which is this http://pixhost.me/avaxhome/e0/ce/000acee0_medium.jpeg but just wanted to hear opinions.

Also if someone could recommend a basic and I mean very basic physics book, something which will teach me the basic stuff.

I'm self studying so books with plenty of exercises in will be a great plus!

Thank you.

Actually, I think that book is the THIRD in Amsco's series. Many schools (for good or bad) follow the Algebra 1 - Geometry - Algebra 2 sequence, so if you want to continue using the books from Amsco, you should get
http://www.amscopub.com/products/amscos-geometry-hardbound for your 2nd book. After that, you can use the Algebra 2/Trig book.
