Actually I do not think that saxon series is great for self-teaching, it is more designed for doing homework, I should not have recommended it. I am sorry. Furthermore that series does a bad job teaching trigonometry and the topics are not organized. For example trigonometry lessons are scattered throughout the books 110 lessons or so.lonely_nucleus said:I read this book it is default for my high school, I liked it and it is a pretty standard book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1565770420/?tag=pfamazon01-20
