What is a budget-friendly reference for precalculus material?

[phospho]

could anyone recommend me a book which summarises a lot of the precalculus material which I can use as a reference. I don't have much to spend.

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0387967877/?tag=pfamazon01-20
An excellent book by an excellent writer. It contains all the mathematics one needs before attempting calculus.
It's not a dumbed-down book, so expect no easy exercises or funny cartoons. But you can learn a lot from it.

I used Principles of Mathematics by Allendoerfer and Oakley for precalculus studying. I found an older version online for about $10. You cannot go wrong with Lang, though.

I was looking online on it for reviews and it people say that there is a lot of errors in the book, did you have any problem with these errors?

I found one copy of this on amazon for £100, it seems that it is too old to find (I'm from the UK).

I understand the importance of having a reliable reference for mathematical concepts. I would recommend checking out "Precalculus Demystified" by Rhonda Huettenmueller. It covers a wide range of precalculus topics in a clear and concise manner, making it a great reference for those on a budget. Additionally, websites such as Khan Academy offer free resources for precalculus material. I hope this helps in your search for a comprehensive summary of precalculus.
