Hmm, maybe I'll give learning math properly a shot.

I see what you did there.

i'm actually serious :(

Where's the creation science section? This website is bullshit!

and there's a lot more - just look up 'learning math' or whatever and you'll get more results than you need, and if you want to learn more, there's stuff like http://www.youtube.com/edu for University videos, and www.youtube.com/mit for MIT's Open Courseware, for all the crazy stuff you'll want to learn so you can tell Morgan Freeman he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I'm not going to harshly judge people for not knowing some particular subject - these days, anybody can learn anything if they have good internet access, and we all know there are no real 'know-it-alls', despite however much your Grandma thought she was the pinnacle of knowledge with her ancient education and years of doing crossword puzzles. Fucking bitch. Anyway, this isn't about your Grandma, or how much I hate her, but a message of hope, that you can do anything you put your mind to, probably, if you don't get bored.

Thanks for the links! I bought a bunch of math books a while back but have trouble really getting in to them. I want to design space ships but when confronting combustion physics I realized my English degree wasn't going to help me.

I like Khan because he knows so damn much.

Now that I actually need math I'm trying to relearn everything by doing problems. Art of Problem Solving is a good resource in that regard.

Also those little Dover paperbacks pack a lot of math for the buck.
