Saxon Math Course 3 will take students all the way through sine, cosine, and tangent, factoring polynomials, and rationalizing a denominator (to name a few) which have traditionally been taught as part of Algebra I. My students tend to test into Algebra 2 when they go on to high school. The curriculum is rigorous, and since I teach in a small middle school, I have chosen to teach Course 3 over two years - completing the first half in seventh grade, and the second half in eighth grade.
Algebra 2 is not just a repeat of algebra, you are still studying the form of math called algebra but algebra is a wide topic and in Algebra 2 your simply getting into the more advanced aspects of that topic.
It depends on your school, but it is usually Algebra 1, Algebra 2, then Geometry.
To do WELL in Algebra 2, you will need to remember part of Algebra 1. However, your teacher should go over part of Algebra 1. I did poorly in Algebra 1, though Algebra 2 now makes sense to me simply because I needed to understand it to understand Algebra 2, and I was able to infer the things that I was unsure of.
John Saxon has written: 'Math 76' 'Test Masters for Physics' 'Algebra One-Half' 'Home Study Packet for Calculus' 'Algebra 2 Test Master' 'Weak and willing'
The weight of two math books depends on which books you are usingIf your using two "Saxon" 7/8, Pre- Algebra, Algebra 1, or Algebra 2 books the weight is about 11 pounds :)

there is no such thing as Integrated Algebra 2 but they represent the same concept

Math is taught like this: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry. Algebra I is similar to Algebra 2, but Algebra 2 has more difficult concepts, such as imaginary numbers. Added: I would have put statistics and trig in between Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus. You review trig in precalculus and statistics is the first transferable math course in college.

I think you mean Algebra 1 & 2 If you did, Algebra 1 is the basic stuff. Algebra 2, you get more complex, but it's still a basic idea.
