My recommendation is you go through the following:
Algebra 2
Advanced Mathematics
Calculus with Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry
If you can find an edition that is no later than 2000, that would be great, because they sold Saxon Publishers to a "respectible" textbook publisher and it's been watered down to make it acceptable to the public schools. Otherwise they might learn something.
WARNING: If you do it right, it's time-consuming. I would expect to take a year or more to go through those three.
BENEFIT: You will learn the skills over a long period of time and you're less likely to forget what you've learned.
ALTERNATIVE: You could look into Singapore Math. I don't know much about what is offered at that level. |
Considering JBaldwin's input and having looked at the product online, I have to conclude that
Teaching Textbooks might be an even better alternative to Saxon. The Saxon Calculus might be a good intro calculus after you did the pre-calc.
All this is based on the assumption that your original question had to do with reviewing or re-learning math
skills and concepts.
