Any good Calculus textbooks for a beginner? Going back to school next semester and I want to brush up.

c'mon my dude, that was a simple google search. I feel the urge to insult you flowing through my bones. I think your best off following the videos on Khan Academy then go on MIT OCW and take their calculus course.

I did do a google search, but there's a lot of varying opinions, just wanted to ask directly .

How comfortable are you with algebra, geometry, and trig? If the answer is not very then go back and master those. Dumbasses complain about calc being hard because they sucked at the prereqs to begin with. Don't be these people. If you are very well versed in these subjects already, then just grab Stewart's or Thomas' Calculus and work through the chapters. If you want something a bit more concrete then get Apostol (Spivak and Courant are also good but aimed more for real analysis and expect previous knowledge in calculus already).

Calculus is such a trivial topic that any book that
1) Proves all theorems
2) Has problem sets such that you cannot do at least 50% of them without help

is a good book.

I've been using Calculus - Larson, Hostetler, Edwards 4th edition, and it's served me well so far for calculus review. Started from differentiation and now am on inverse trigonometric integration.
