Janeway Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We used Foersters Algebra one, and then Jurgensons Geometry, and now son is on Algebra 2 with trig. He is on chapter 13. So I guess we will finish the book, so that is good. Both Foersters books so far were classic edition. Now I cannot find a classic edition for precalculus. So I am starting to wonder if I should even concern myself to stay with Foersters. I also considered switching to Derek Owens next, but since son has done so well so far, it might not be worth the extra cost-for him specifically. I can see Derek Owens is worth what he charges.

VANURSEPRAC Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 What does it matter that Alg 1 and 2 are "Classics", I have both of those books too. I also have the Foerster PreCal "Concepts and Applications" by Key Press 2007. D has not started the precal book, but I don't see the problem with using it.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I am just saying I don't feel tied to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think there might be something in the preface to the Foerster's Algebra 2 book that discusses different approaches to using it and indicating there is overlap between the two books. You may also find this thread on Foester's Alg 2 vs. Precalculus books helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
