Off topic, but could you tell me what you don't like about the Glencoe text?
Thanks!
It's procedure-heavy without much in the way of WHY or deductive reasoning and careful conceptual building, if that makes sense. DD has also found a hefty sprinkling of errors, including examples that are mis-printed or flatly INCOMPLETE-- cutting off at the bottom of the page so that only the first half of them are shown.
There's "this is what you do with problems that look like this"
and "this is what you do with problems that look like that instead."
But very little "this is the law of cosines, this is where it comes from, and here's what it applies to and why..."
