I'll be taking Calc 3 when I return to school, so I have a year to re-teach myself calc 1 and 2, what book would you recommend?

State still using that? (the MA course websites aren't up yet)

better idea, use this masterpiece by Tom M. Apostol, used in honors classes at the top universities: http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Vol-One-Variable-Introduction-Algebra/dp/0471000051

The content of Calc I and II is in Volume I: http://www.4shared.com/document/WJNaJlA4/Apostol_-_Calculus_Volume_1.html
For more advanced material, go to Volume II: http://www.4shared.com/file/39886112/45726c6f/Apostol_-_Calculus_Volume_2.html

Another well-regarded text is by Michael Spivak: http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-4th-Michael-Spivak/dp/0914098918/
