Post-Algebra II Textbooks
Because of the differences in the content covered in upper level high school mathematics courses in Specialty Schools throughout the county, the Mathematics Textbook Committee is recommending more than one textbook for most of these courses. This will allow schools to choose the book most suited for their own course requirements. In some of the courses, more than one book may be used. The state does not have a recommended list of books for these upper level courses.
