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

Click For 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.

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!
 

Thread 'What did you do with your old college textbooks?'

I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...

Thread 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
