Great Precalculus Book for Beginners - Oh, and I Found a Math Syllabus from 1988 in It!

I'm an engineer looking to relearn math from middle school to grad school. Your videos are really helpful

1988! But what if the math is out of date!

[@wilhelm-z4t]

How is math out-of-date?

If it's not up to date?

@@lamgoumangchongloi5344 What does that even mean? Newer _discoveries_ or _inventions,_ depending on your point-of-view, in mathematics don't invalidate _older_ mathematics. Also, these _newer_ mathematical discoveries are not typically the topics one encounters in your average high school or undergraduate textbook. They tend to be at the periphery - if you will. The issue here appears more pedagogical in nature and has nothing to do with _mathematics_ per se. Actually, given the atrocious state of mathematical literacy in the USA, older textbooks might be better.
