Incarceration Math Book Recommendation
$begingroup$
My 35 year old son is in jail for a few months and he asked me to send him a book (or books) that he could use to review math from Algebra through Calculus. He has no internet so needs a great text or two. He likes math but it has been about 10 years since he last studied it in college. He needs something with excellent explanations and examples, and hopefully one with an answer key showing all steps. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Paul Foerster's algebra books Algebra I and Algebra and Trigonometry are useful, as is the text Geometry by Jurgensen, Brown, and Jurgensen.
