Resource help for co-ordinate geometry

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around seeking resources for studying coordinate geometry, specifically from the basics to a level suitable for college. Participants express a preference for free resources but are open to non-free options as well.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests free resources for coordinate geometry, emphasizing the need to understand the logic behind each step.
  • Another participant suggests a specific textbook from OpenStax, highlighting chapters that may be relevant.
  • A participant expresses that the suggested resource is not what they are looking for, indicating a need for materials that focus more on graphs, equations, and their derivations.
  • Further clarification is provided that the initial chapters of the suggested resource may be too broad and contain many prerequisites, making it challenging to cover in a short time.
  • One participant acknowledges the usefulness of the provided link while expressing their specific needs for more focused content.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best resources, as there are differing opinions on the suitability of the suggested materials and the specific focus needed for coordinate geometry.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention the need for resources that start from basic concepts and build up to more complex applications, indicating a potential gap in the suggested materials regarding the depth and focus on specific topics.

TL;DR
Can someone provide me with some free resources (classes, books, notes anything) for co-ordinator geometry?
Can someone provide me with some free resources (classes, books, notes, sites anything) for co-ordinator geometry?
I want to study it from the basics while understanding the logic of every step and build upto start of collage level.
Note ; non free resources are welcome too, but free resources would be preferred
Thankyou in advance

Have you thought about something like this (esp. chapters 7,9ff.)?

While this is usefull, this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I need something that's more focused on the graphs and equations of graphs, how they're derived, the calculations, applications etc. Starting from the basics like stright lines and dots and all.
That would be the chapters at the beginning, e.g. chapter 2 and 3.
Other books are here: https://openstax.org/subjects/math

I don't think you can get more basic than these.

What I meant wasn't that it's too advanced. It's like stretched out over a whole bunch of pre requisites and side topics which makes it harder to cover during a short amount of time. Well it's fine, I'll look it up.
Thanks for the link, looks very usefull.
