So yea... this is a weird topic but I was wondering if you guys could give me recommendation or textbook titles you guys are using for the following class.
# Calculus
# Principles of Macroeconomics
# Principles of Microeconomics
# Financial Accounting
The reason I'm asking this is because I'm taking those courses as a CLEP exam. I just recently changed my major (from two completely different fields) from International Relations to International Business and Economics. Because of this I also have to transfer as soon as possible to a school that teaches this field excellently and to do that I have to have the basics needed to transfer which are those and I don't have time to take them as classes for next year -the year before transferring- and just am going to do independent study and take exam to be able to transfer the credits...
But yea... to sum it up I hope whoever has taken this class can help me by giving me their textbook titles and etc.
Thank you.

Calculus Read "Calculus" by Morris Kline first. It's a really simple introduction to the subject. After reading Kline's book you can get started with the Holy Grails of Calculus; Apostol's or Spivak's "Calculus."
Financial Accounting Unfortunately, the best out there that I know of is Libby.
For macroeconomics and microeconomics, I'll have to check when I get back to my apartment tomorrow afternoon. I can't remember the names right off the bat, but I do now that the books are top-notch and one of the out there.

I recommend Principles of Microeconomics by Gregory N. Mankiw.
