Calculus for weak math people?

Situation: Once I finish Calculus I am done with my business degree math requirements.
Problem: School dropped tutoring this year, I barely passed College Algebra, and a TA is teaching the class and all she does is assign homework (ie doesn't teach).

In other words I have to learn it all myself, and my textbook is not very friendly to those not math inclined. Are there any books or anything I can use to pass this class? I bought this pos book "calculus demystified" and it is just as bad as the textbook. I am stressing big time!
 
depending on what school you go to, try signing up for the class at a local community college, if not, just crash it. Community college teachers teach alot more than University Professors.

those demystified books are pretty bad and so are the dummies and made easy books. I have this book called "How to ace calculas" which is pretty good, I also have this book but I am letting someone borrow it so i dont have the name of it now, but the book is pretty good. It is by a college professor and is a paperback. I got it at barnes and nobles. My advice, go to a bookstore and look for a book that is written by someone with a PHD. Dont get schaums, it is a only good if you actually understand what is going on.
