Help Self-Studying Calculus I wanted to learn calculus but I have been told that you can't learn it without first learning elementary algebra. Can someone help me devise a plan for self-study because I don't know were to begin.

I would advise you learn the fundamentals first. For instance, start with a book like Lang's Basic Mathematics. Once you have thoroughly learned this material, you should follow the traditional pre-Calculus curriculum. Learn about exponential, trigonometric, and other functions- some of this should be included in Lang. 
After that, you might consider a book on elementary set theory, such as Paul Halmos' Naive Set Theory, just for some of the introductory topics.
Then you can most likely jump into Calculus. Ian Stewart's books are fairly good and clear if your interest is the applications of Calculus. You could supplement this with Spivak's Calculus. This is just my suggestion.
