<p>So I've noticed that my precalculus book doesn't really explain the concepts that well, and neither does my teacher.</p>
<p>I'm thinking that I should buy a textbook from amazon to study from. Do you guys have any suggestions as to which brand, edition, etc i should buy?
Thanks!!</p>

<p>I was in a similar position when I took pre-cal. It ended up being that I learned primarily from the internet and only used the textbook for practice problems and hw. Khan Academy was a great help. You could also try looking around local used/discount book stores for good, cheap textbooks.</p>
<p>I used a combination of a Larson textbook + patrickmjt on youtube to self teach myself pre-calc. I ended up knowing alot more than most of the kids in my calc class that actually took the class</p>
