This document has a lot of good notes and explanations going over the content in chapters 3 and 4 of Lippman's "pre-calculus". There's a lot of practice problems in there, with work shown so you can easily follow along and understand.

It goes over chapters 5 and 6 of Lippman's "Pre-calculus". It has great explanations and even has the midterm prep that got me an A.

Has notes for chapter 1 and 2, with examples
