In summary, the conversation discusses the speaker's recent purchase of Schaum's Elementary, Intermediate, and College Algebra texts for extra practice and familiarization with the material. They are looking for other affordable options and mention the Openstax books as a possibility. Another option mentioned is Axler: Precalculus, which includes solutions for many problems but may not be the best way to teach mathematics.

I've recently purchased Schaum's Elementary, Intermediate and College Algebra texts and I'm loving the extra practice and the chance to familiarize myself with the material.

Are there any other similar books out there for cheap? I've considering buying old editions of the various Algebra-Precalculus books and just recycling problems from those but they can be a little pricy.

Theres Axler: Precalculus. It has solutions for a lot of problems. However, I don't think giving solutions to people is the way to teach them mathematics.
