Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Birmingham maths students: What are the main textbooks of the first year?

I will start my first year in a few weeks, and I want to study the textbooks before the course starts (just to prepare a little). The university's website mentions many books, which I have no time to check all. So I need just the best 2-3 textbooks.
I contacted the university about this but there was not a clear answer so far.

If you did your first year in maths degree at the university of Birmingham within the past few years, what are the main 2-3 textbooks that reasonably cover all modules of the first year?

Thanks in advance for your responds.
