Beyond basic arithmetic, my knowledge of Mathematics is nil.

I will sit a standardized test soon where knowing the following areas inside out is a must: pre-algebra, elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, coordinate geometry, plane geometry, and trigonometry.

So, I am looking for a textbook that covers the aforementioned areas at least.

What are your suggestions?

Thanks!

    How soon is *soon*? If you have the ability to learn all this material in a short time (several weeks? a few months?), then you're much more gifted in math than I am. Also, isn't the purpose of the test to correctly place you mathematically? Metaphorically speaking, why would you want to convince others that you're an expert swimmer when you don't yet know how to swim? Aren't you afraid of drowning later when you have to swim in the middle of an ocean?2012-07-11

    January 2013. Assuming that I do grasp those areas the test requires, I won't be "drowning later" on, now will I?2012-07-12

    Looking for **a** textbook that covers, what, 4 or 5 years of secondary-level mathematics? If there is such a textbook, you'll need a forklift to move it.2012-08-28
