A good website to teach me maths?

Does anyone know a good website for maths? I would like to get my maths up to scratch. I go back to collage in september.

I'm dutch so I need to learn all the names and term again so it would be good to start from the beginning.

Thanks!

If you want to start from the very beginning, KhanAcademy on YouTube is very good:

This site gives worked examples of any equation.

It depends what you want to learn, but in general, reading from a website is no substitute for getting a book and working out loads of examples. I advise you to forget about the web and invest in a decent textbook.

Well, define beginning. Are we talking long division, trigonometry, algebra, calculus or what? Did you do much maths in school, and do you remember anything? What kind of college course is it?

I did maths at school about 20 years ago, I do remember some but I learned it in dutch. So I would like to start from secondairy school level to see what evry thing is called in english and to refresh my maths.

I'm going to do enviromental sceince. Maths was my weak point at school so I want to prepare in the coming months to leaving cert level minimum.

Unless anyone else has a suggestion, I'd just go with whatever the standard book is. It used to be Text & Tests by O.D.Morris (I just realised what an awful name that is!), though I'm not sure what it is these days.

Wikipedia is very helpful, and of course we can always help you out.

Texts and Tests is the best school maths text book out there. There are 5 books. 1 is a general intro to JC maths but also covers the whole ordinary level course. 2 is the additional stuff for higher level JC. 3 is OL LC maths. 4 & 5 cover the HL LC course. So buy or borrow 1,2,4 and 5 and you'll have the whole maths syllabus.

If anyone has any useful online resources rememeber to stick them in the "Useful Links" sticky!

Well, Don't know about ALL schools, but I (and i think all my friends) have used Consise Maths by George Humprey in various schools. They're good, but I'm not a fantastic judge as they're the only ones i've used :P
