Algebra What is a great book for completing Algebra and trigonometry?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on self-studying algebra 2 and trigonometry after completing high school geometry. Participants recommend looking into Schaum's Outlines for effective self-study resources. A specific recommendation is made for Serge Lang's "Basic Mathematics," which has been positively reviewed for its content. Additionally, insights from @micromass are highlighted, particularly regarding study strategies and textbook suggestions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of finding comprehensive resources for both subjects, whether taken separately or combined.

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.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
