Hey!

So, the topics you listed are all covered in a Calculus I class. There are some texts that are specific to calc I, but most (in my experience) have the whole shebang, up through Calc III and maybe into some basic diff. eqns.

Larson's Calculus of a Single Variable is availible for $13 as an E-book, if you're okay with that. This version only goes through Calc I, but it's a bit cheaper than the full book. I personally don't love this book, but a lot of people swear by it. It gives lots of application examples, but I don't think they do a great job showing how they work through solutions. This is best as a supplement to a class that uses problems from that book.

My personal favourite is Dover's Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach. This book is much more theorem-oriented and I think it stands better alone than Larson's calculus. I taught myself from this book.

Sorry, my post wasn’t very clear. Those were actually specific titles.

Practical Algebra:

Geometry and Trigonometry for Calculus:

Those are both very good. My calculus recommendation is a little unconventional, so maybe it’s not for you, but I’d get Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical approach.

That book is far more wordy than your average calculus text, but I think that makes it great for self teaching. If you pick up something like 3000 Solved Calculus problems to go along with it you should be in great shape.

I know that’s not exactly cheap, but you should be able to pick up all of those for less than $100. Good luck!

Edit: all of the statistics texts in the last paragraph of my original post are available freely (legally, I believe) online.
