First, watch this TED talk for context: http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html This guys site has tons of free tutorials on most general math, and it looks like its branching out to tons of other topics. Each topic is broken up into sections, with videos / problems to teach you particular points.
Here is the site: http://www.khanacademy.org/
And this rules, I'm a junior in college and just learned long division. lol. I missed that month of school in 5th grade, and never really needed that particular method because I grew to be pretty good at guesstimating in my head. But now I don't have to pretend I know long division to not sound retarded, ftw. And they have calc up to vector calc, which is helping me in my classes atm. Another ftw. So seriously... check this out, its a much better time killer for general knowledge that stumbleupon.
Some of the non math topics... Banking, biology, chemistry, cosmology, economics, history, physics... etc.

Thank you so much! This will help me with everything! I am terrible at math, absolutely terrible (thank you high school teachers for failing in every conceivable way!) and this will actually help me understand what I am doing.

I stumbled across this site the other day and thought it was freakin awesome.
Figured I'd post it here.
