Written by a leading mathematician, it is short, clear, and concise, yet provides a depth of understanding that you cannot find in many other bo

oks on the subject.

Higher AlgebraHigher Algebra by Hall and KnightHall and Knight is also a good book and has good deal of high school algebra.

You might also want to look at S.L.Loney's Plane Trigonometry Plane Trigonometry. Since you are going to learn CalculusCalculus it might be important that youknow some Trigonometry.
