Ask HN: What are the best textbooks for high school level math?
I'm curious if anyone is aware of good textbooks for self learning high school maths, algebra two specifically. Khan Academy is good but I particularly like going through physical books.
Most textbooks seem focused on teaching for a test with lots of cruft. I want good examples/descriptions that teach an intuitive understanding of concepts, plus a lot of practice problems.
Does this exist anywhere?
Don't know about books but you might check out thegreatcourses.com that has many videos that try to explain math concepts in a simplified manner by lectures from college professors
Try "Basic Mathematics" by Serge Lang. This will be particularly useful for learning basic algebra.
