Well, if you can speak math, then just go to the library and pick up one. If u can not speak math, in my opinion, Schaum's Outline of Calculus(by elliott Mendelson and Frank Ayres) is really the right one for you.

Here is a list for you, No.18 is for mathematics, such as No.8 is for physics.

Any questions just PM me, u r welcome.

Calculus
The Fourth Edition
By Strauss, Bradley and Smith
Publisher: Prentice-Hall

This is what I'm using right now(I'm a EE major undergrad), but since you're majoring in business, I think the class that you should take is called Calculus for Business People. From what I heard, Calculus for Business People was nothing like the real Calculus.
So, good luck!

have learnt calculus in the 1st yr~but, of course, Chinese textbook = =||| learning linear algebra this semester& our instructor recommended us to choose an english calculus textbook to cultivate the thinking of analysis deeply~~so i think outline's a liitle simple for me....

really appreciate ur suggestions~^^

Analysis, then u need the Rudin' book for thinking. Principles of Mathematical analysis makes you enjoy math. Try it.

BTW, i read it when i was a nine years old boy, and today i still enjoy it. (major in Physics, Molecular biology and Analytical chemistry) To be honest, i think everybody should buy one and read, it's really a NICE book.

I never read a Chinese calculus book, so i know nothing about it~~~
