Best way to teach myself math from the ground up?
#2
Search out older edition textbooks and use the following website to work through problems.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my fav website for math InterActMath.com

This is the tutorial website for math textbooks for two publishers that partner with mathlab. It offers access to most math subjects. As you work through each chapter you are presented with interactive problems. It's actually a fun way to learn.

At the drop box scroll to
Angel: A Survey of Mathematics with Applications (Liberal Arts Mathematics)
Lial: Beginning & Intermediate Algebra; then move to College Algebra

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some other online references -

Another wonderful resource:
Purplemath

Tables (formulas): Math.com Formulas & Tables
Solving Problems: Math.com Homework Help Algebra
Calculators: Math.com Calculators and Tools

Edit to add: I agree with the others that Aleks is a wonderful learning tool as well. I used Aleks to earn 18cr at TESC (at that time beg alg & bus stats were approved for credit). But I'm not sure if the OP is attending one of the big 3, it sounds as if s/he may be attending a B&M. If that's the case, Aleks is a wonderful tool, the interactive website is similar but more fundamental. It has more steps in learning the problems as well as better explanations. I actually love math. While I used Aleks for easily accessible credit, when I really want to get into the meat of a problem I grab my text to read up and then go to the interactmath site to practice.
