What is a great book for completing Algebra and trigonometry?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around recommendations for textbooks suitable for self-studying Algebra 2 and Trigonometry, particularly after completing high school geometry. Participants explore whether to take these subjects separately or as a combined course.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about effective textbooks for self-studying Algebra 2 and Trigonometry after completing geometry.
  • Another participant suggests looking into Schaum's Outlines as a resource for self-study.
  • A specific textbook, "Basic Mathematics" by Serge Lang, is recommended by a participant.
  • A later reply indicates that a participant plans to use Serge Lang's book after reviewing its contents.
  • One participant expresses gratitude for additional study resources shared in an article.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants share various textbook recommendations, but there is no consensus on a single best approach or resource for studying Algebra 2 and Trigonometry.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not address the specific content or structure of the recommended textbooks, nor does it clarify the potential benefits of taking the courses separately versus together.

Who May Find This Useful

Students preparing for Algebra 2 and Trigonometry, particularly those interested in self-study methods and textbook recommendations.

Patrick Nguyen
Once I complete high school geometry, I am planning to take algebra 2 and trigonometry next. I am asking if there are good textbooks out there that provide a full course of algebra 2 and trigonometry. Or should I take these two courses separately? By the way, I am self-studying.

I looked over the contents of Serge Lang's book that you recommended and I think that I am going to use it! Also, thank you ElectricRay for giving me the article!
