Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis consumed hours of my life!
ReplyDeleteI've been working on it for years!
Now I have it, and I will never lose it!!!!
I should have said, too, that these are the books everyone has told me are best.
ReplyDeleteI haven't collected a lot of recommendations for pre-calculus per se... but apart from that these are the books about whose quality there appears to be universal agreement.
This is a huge help! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I can add:

McDougall Littell
Student Edition:
ISBN: 0-395-97727-4
This is the text used by the Johns Hopkins Honor Geometry distance ed course. This is a very traditional text that stresses formal deductive reasoning. Calculator use is almost nonexistent in this text.
