    Algebra Algebra 1
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user's experience with a specific Integrated Algebra 1 book, which effectively combines explanations, examples, and exercises, making it suitable for self-study. After completing this book, the user is seeking recommendations for a second book, ideally focused on precalculus and trigonometry, while expressing a preference for concise texts that emphasize practical exercises. They mention considering a book from Amsco's series but are advised that it may be the third in the sequence, suggesting that they should first study a geometry book before progressing to Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. Additionally, the user is looking for recommendations for a very basic physics book that also includes ample exercises to facilitate learning.

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.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
