Precalculus:
The Schaum’s “Outline” series and “Solved Problems” are the better ones. I avoided “Dummy” series as I did not desire even thinking about calling myself that.

REA Problem Solvers for Pre-Calculus: not inexpensive, possibly try used bookstores and/or eBay.

Calculus:
Schuams: even have 1 with a video included.

Problem Solvers:
If he has to take math above Calc 1 and Calc 2, the Problem Solver Differential Equation book is useful.

Oliver Heaviside:

Dr. Derbes, physics prof I had, pointed out many “smart” folks to us in his lectures including Richard Feynman, the guy who simplified the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster by placing a piece of the Morton Thiokol rubber O-ring material into a glass of ice water then removing it and breaking it showing how brittle it got under extreme cold conditions. The launch managers were exposed and the engineers they ignored were vindicated. Not listening to your workers input is a bad idea no matter where you are in life.
If your son is required to take physics, he may enjoy some of these...I did and still have them.

Correction to first post:

Would not have made a 32+ year career WITHOUT the above happening or the work put into it.
