So I'm planning on buying the books in the links above (Algebra and trig, precalc and calc by Ron Larson), but as they are quite expensive I was wondering if I would be missing out by not purchasing one of them instead of all three?
I've heard it's a good idea to skip precalculus and go straight to calculus for example. I've also had a great deal of algebra and trigonometry and know most of what's in the table of contents, but I was thinking maybe it has a better way of explaining concepts and includes proofs? I'm certain I'm going to buy calculus, but uncertain of the two others (maybe just one of them or neither). I also see there is some overlap in the content of algebra & trig and precalculus. Has anyone used any of these books and can offer some insight?
Excuse my messy and badly formulated inquery, hope you understand what I'm trying to convey :-)
