Mathematics from scratch to Calc III
#10
I enjoy Dr. Burger's material at Thinkwell. I started out with the pre-algebra book in The Art of Problem Solving series and worked up from there. You can memorize formulas, or understand why a particular rule exists (proofs). This helped me realize that once you understand something thoroughly, you do not need to be so worried about rote memorization. Combine these two materials with ALEKS (for credit), and are on your way.

I think it's a pretty bad approach to pull out the popcorn and simply watch Khan Academy videos. As supplemental material, fine. Not a spectator sport!
