Hey nerds, I’m planning on going back to school in a few years and want to smash the math proficiency test so I don’t have to spend years relearning things that will probably only take me a few months at most. What books do you all recommend to get me from college algebra to Calc II or III?
Bonus points for stats and physics recs, as well.

this is what my calc 1 professor gave us to brush up with when i took it a couple years back. they’re just videos though, if you want everything to stick you’ll have to spend some time grinding problems.
there are free textbooks here https://openstax.org/subjects/math
the instruction isn’t very thorough, worth skimming when you need a quick refresh. use it for the exercises. I’d go through the Algebra + Trig book and Precalc, you’ll need to understand trig pretty well to get through calc 2 hell
