Be wary when looking for books on algebra. They can often be confused as abstract algebra/modern algebra and just be titled algebra. At your level, you do not want abstract algebra (group, field, ring theory, etc)

I recommend, by nothing more than looking at their table of contents:
Algebra:

Trig:

Geometry: This book may go a bit too advanced, but it is cheap and seems decent

Calculus: This is by no means comprehensive(it seems to lack p tests for divergence among some other topics in cal 3), but it is enough to get you ready for advanced topics in it.

If you are interested in linear algebra, check out Shilov's linear algebra textbook. Don't bother with abstract, it really isn't that useful in engineering(computer science... yes)

Sure, I can recommend Fundamental concepts of algebra. I picked it up from abebooks for $1.5. It's aim is to introduce the concepts of analysis through algebra.
