Hi,

I need a good book for high school Algebra. If possible, Algebra and Trigonometry both in one book.
By High School, I mean for age 15-17years. :P

I have chosen Algebra and Trigonometry (3rd Edition) by Beecher/Penna/Bittinger.
I think its a good book.

Please suggest me more books if you think there are better ones. :)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this precious suggestion.. :)

These books are really short and cheap too.
But I think I will be getting the Beecher's one.
So, should I buy these books along with that too? What's your suggestion?
Will I need them if I have the Beecher's one?

No problem. Those books are a little non-standard. They were mainly developed for distance learning in Russia (those linked to are in English though). They are good supplements, but if you are taking a class then a textbook might be a better choice. I'm not familiar with the Beecher textbook, but its reviews on Amazon are pretty good.
